Beautiful libraries November 6, 2007
There are some amazing libraries all over the world, which most of us will never see in person. Luckily there is a website that has pictures of the best examples. Click here to see it. I can also reccomend the book ‘Libraries’ by Candida Hofer. I am proud to finally have this book in my collection. (Click here to read a previous post about this book.)

The fantastic library of ‘our’ Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Thanks to Urbi for the link!

















That does look remarkably similar to the Harvard Coop (which is a bookstore, rather than a library) in basic design.
Very pretty though. Are you familiar with Walter Scott’s library at Abbotsford?
