take a virtual tour of some of the most beautiful libraries in the world

By

Not that we need another reason to start planning another dream trip across the globe, but we reckon that looking at these lovely libraries is enough to give us the travel bug and plan out a way to see them all. From Portugal to New York, these stunning buildings play host to some of the oldest books in history – even though it’s the interiors that we will probably spend more time looking at.

Libraries have been spaces of study, connection, inspiration and knowledge for the majority of human existence, and even with the rise of Google the magic of being inside a library will never get old. We might not ever get the chance to see these absolutely gorgeous libraries in person, but we can at least catch a glimpse of the architecture through all of these photos that come straight from the pages at Temples of Books: Magnificent Libraries all Over the World. If you’re keen on looking at some top-notch libraries then you can nab yourself a copy over here.
