Visiting properties taking part in London Open House 2017.
The London Library, founded in 1841, is one of the world's largest independent lending libraries.
The Progressive Bookstack has changed (to cultural studies and rhetorical theory) because of my entering a PhD program.

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.
