    Man, you need sunglasses to walk into that room.

  2. I like the three dimensional effect in the tile floor.

    I’m fairly certain this was an inspiration for the library in the Disney animated Beauty and the Beast.

    Wow, they put white bindings on the books to match the library. That’s pretty crazy.

    Yea I’m way too poor to go in there.

    It immediately made me want to start dancing. Ballroom dancing, twelve pirouettes in a row–a good Russian mule kick!

    Been here! These books stacks contain some of the oldest written texts. So interesting to read to oldest hand written texts!

    This is breath taking, truly stunning. Thanks for sharing! This is going in my wishlist to visit.

    Older books with light-colored spines aren’t very common.

    Are these wrapped in covers to match the palette of the room?

  11. Thou beautiful, to me, this reflects a dark period in science where only the nobelty had access to books which were shelved in big rooms such as these and were scarcely ever read.

    Been there! You can visit it. It’s part of a monastery and quite amazing! Some of the books have hidden doors to the top part of the library. 😁
