Here are some gorgeous libraries from around the world, taken by photographer Franck Bohbot. It seems like the French take their libraries the most seriously, from this collection, with some absolutely stunning architecture. Via MyModernMet:
Oval Reading Room, Bibliothèque nationale de France (Paris, France)
The Providence Athenaeum Library #1, RI, 2015
Biblioteca Angelica #2, Roma, Italy, 2012
Seikei University Library (Musashino, Tokyo, Japan)
Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de la Sorbonne (Paris, France)
Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris (Paris, France)
Awesome, we need to make another France visit and see some of these spaces in person.
Gorgeous pics! I can confirm that us French people take our libraries very seriously indeed 😉
