I have lived in Washington DC almost twenty years and have visited most of the museums, buildings and attractions at one time or another. To me, the most impressive is the Thomas Jefferson Building, the oldest and most recognizable Library of Congress building.

 

I have visited the LOC a few times but never attempted to get photos until my last visit. The scale is simply overwhelming. My lack of experience for indoor, architectural photography did not do justice to the grandeur of the place, but hopefully this short series will be of some interest. To me it's a must-see for any visit to DC.

Interior of the library in The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens :)

 

The library building was designed in 1920 by the southern California architect Myron Hunt in the Mediterranean Revival style. The library contains a substantial collection of rare books and manuscripts, concentrated in the fields of British and American history, literature, art, and the history of science. Highlights include one of copies of the Gutenberg Bible (from 1455), and letters and manuscripts by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Abraham Lincoln. It also holds the manuscript of Benjamin Franklin's autobiography and Isaac Newton's personal copy of his "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica" with annotations in Newton's own hand. The library's main exhibition hall showcases some of the most outstanding rare books and manuscripts in the collection, while the West Hall of the library hosts rotating exhibitions.

Wnętrze Biblioteki Huntingtona, znajdującej się ne terenie ogrodów botanicznych :)

 

Budynek biblioteki został zaprojektowany w 1920 roku przez architekta z południowej Kalifornii Myrona Hunta w stylu śródziemnomorskiego odrodzenia. Biblioteka zawiera pokaźny zbiór rzadkich książek i rękopisów, głównie z dziedziny brytyjskiej i amerykańskiej historii, literatury, sztuki i historii nauki. Najważniejsze pozycje w zbiorach to jedna z kopii Biblii Gutenberga (z 1455 r.) oraz listy i rękopisy George'a Washingtona, Thomasa Jeffersona, Benjamina Franklina i Abrahama Lincolna. Biblioteka posiada też rękopis autobiografii Benjamina Franklina i osobistą kopię "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica "Isaaca Newtona z własnoręcznymi adnotacjami autora. W głównej sali wystawowej biblioteki prezentowane są jedne z najwybitniejszych rzadkich książek i rękopisów w kolekcji, podczas gdy w zachodniej sali biblioteki odbywają się wystawy rotacyjne.

The magnificent monastery library was built between 1680 and 1689, also by Carlo Antonio Carlone. It is one of the great libraries of Austria and contains about 160,000 volumes, besides 1,700 manuscripts and nearly 2,000 incunabula. The most valuable book is the "Codex Millenarius", a Gospel Book written around 800 in Mondsee Abbey. Facsimiles of this codex may be found in the libraries of a number of universities throughout the world.

I love the shiny red dot above the capital L of the State Library logo.

Different from my other work, I still can't help but like this shot. It's from the interior of the Seattle Public Library. Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus of OMA/LMN were the principal architects.

I thought it was time for another "Empty Seat" shot as it has been a little while. Taken outside the State Library Victoria, on Swanston Street.

Windows on the Brisbane Square Library are shaped to look like leaning library books.

Sarah's area at work had a catered recognition dinner at the James J Hill library. I was ignoring people and trying to figure out how to get up to the balcony and hang out.

FAR TOO MANY BOOKS IN MY OPINION.

And there were two other carts just like that one to go with it.

It was like the entire library was on a cart, waiting for me to put it ALL away. T^T

The starfield library is aesthetically designed and spans from the 4th floor to the 7th floor in the middle of the recently opened shopping mall. You can read books, magazines, and use the tablets set up on the 4th floor. Books are displayed on the walls from the 4th to the 7th floor but are out of reach.

Beautiful workmanship.

This high tech building which opened in 2013 has become a symbol of Birmingham. Designed by Francine Houben from Mecanoo architects it was built by the infamous Carillion. It is described as the largest cultural space in Europe and the largest Library in the UK. I don't know where that leaves the Pompidou Centre in Paris or The British Library in London.

The inside of the building is almost as impressive as the outside . It has 9 floors and a basement and resembles an ELO spaceship.
