The Great Court at the British Museum, officially named the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, is a two-acre covered square at the center of the British Museum. Opened in December 2000 and designed by Foster and Partners, the space transformed the museum’s inner courtyard—formerly occupied by the British Library bookstacks—into the largest covered public square in Europe. Its signature feature is the sweeping glass and steel roof, engineered by Buro Happold and built by Waagner-Biro, composed of 3,312 uniquely shaped panes. The 19th-century domed Reading Room sits at its heart, encircled by circulation routes, galleries, and visitor facilities.
The British Museum Reading Room, located at the heart of the Great Court, was designed by Sydney Smirke and opened in 1857 to house the growing library of the British Museum. Constructed of cast iron, concrete, and a papier-mâché dome inspired by the Pantheon, the room’s circular design accommodated thousands of books and readers, with surrounding iron bookstacks and forty kilometers of shelving. It served as the principal reading room of the British Library until the collection relocated to St Pancras in 1997. After restoration, the Reading Room reopened in 2000 for general visitors, later hosting major exhibitions from 2007 to 2013 before closing for archival use until reopening in 2023.
The British Museum, located in Bloomsbury, London, was established in 1753 and opened in 1759 as the world’s first national public museum. Originally housed in Montagu House, it now occupies a grand neoclassical building designed by Sir Robert Smirke, constructed between 1823 and 1852 on the same site. The museum’s encyclopedic collection of over eight million objects spans over two million years of human history, with major highlights including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, and the Sutton Hoo treasures--many of which remain the subject of ongoing repatriation discussions.

Now this is my kind of city!
This is a monument on Unter den Linden celebrating the invention of the printing press. The vehicle in front of the bookstack is a "velotaxi".

The New Bodleian Library
This Grade II Listed building was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in the 1930's, and its architecture is vague - part classical, part modernist, part Arts and Crafts, part prison block.
It is generally agreed that the building is not among Scott's most successful designs. Nikolaus Pevsner dismisses it as "Neither one thing nor the other".
The Rockefeller Foundation donated 60% of the £1 million cost for the new library building. It included administrative and reading rooms, together with an 11-storey bookstack beneath the building. This was connected underground with the original Bodleian Library by an conveyor belt system for books. It is still possible to walk underground between the Radcliffe Camera and the new library building.
The Weston Library
In the early 21st century, the building was rebuilt internally behind its original façade to provide improved storage facilities for rare and fragile material, as well as better facilities for readers and visitors.
It re-opened to readers as the Weston Library on the 21st. March 2015. Richard Ovenden (Bodley's Librarian) awarded the Bodley Medal to Professor Stephen Hawking and to Sir David Attenborough as part of the official opening ceremony.
The transformed library has been generally well-received, being described as a "Hey presto moment for the city" by The Independent newspaper.
