National Library of Finland, Helsinki / SML.20240813.R8.08556-08569-Pano

The Rotunda annex of the National Library of Finland, completed in 1906, is a six-story structure with bookshelves placed around an open central space. Gazing up or down in the Rotunda offers stunning views of the library’s interior architecture

 

The National Library of Finland (Kansalliskirjasto) serves as the foremost research library in the country and is a vital institution for preserving Finnish cultural heritage. Located in Helsinki, near the iconic Senaatintori square, it is both a repository of knowledge and a cultural hub.

 

I visited this place in August during my week in Helsinki, per recommendation by Alexander. I only had a 24-105 with me during the visit and was unable to capture its beauty in a single shot, so I have stitched together 14 captures to make a vertical pano.
