The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries

“Without libraries what have we? We have no past and no future.” -Ray Bradbury

For centuries, books have housed the collective knowledge of the world and formed the foundations of educational institutions. Given that these objects contain such value, it only makes sense that throughout history people have constructed beautiful buildings to house them.

We put together a list of some of the most beautiful libraries as captured by Instagrammers around the world. For more photos from these architectural wonders, check out their linked location pages below.

The first photo reminds me of M.C. Escher

Oh, my, gosh. I need to go to these. Like, yesterday. Let me just spend my whole life in these places and I think I would be almost the happiest person in the world. Just being surrounded by so much knowledge and so many far away places…So many different worlds! And lets not forget the AMAZING architecture. <3
