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.

Stuttgart City Library, Stuttgart, Germany

Trinity College Library, Dublin, Ireland

Library of Alexandria, Alexandria, Egypt

Real Gabinete Português de Leitura, Rio de Janiero, Brazil

The Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen, Denmark

George Peabody Library, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD

Kanazawa Umimirai Library, Kanazawa City, Japan

New York Public Library, New York City, NY

“I am a lesbian woman of Color whose children eat regularly because I work in a university. If their full bellies make me fail to recognize my commonality with a woman of Color whose children do not eat because she cannot find work, or who has no children because her insides are rotted from home abortions and sterilization; if I fail to recognize the lesbian who chooses not to have children, the woman who remains closeted because her homophobic community is her only life support, the woman who chooses silence instead of another death, the woman who is terrified lest my anger trigger the explosion of hers; if I fail to recognize them as other faces of myself, then I am contributing not only to each of their oppressions but also to my own, and the anger which stands between us, then must be used for clarity and mutual empowerment, not for evasion by guilt or for further separation.”

- Audre Lorde, “The Uses of Anger,” Sister Outsider, p. 123 (via afrolez)
