Whether they are modern or ancient, libraries are such a fascinating way to see the world. Not only is the architecture alone normally magnificent and grand, they often have special collections or even exhibits inside them. If you are a lover of books and culture, you have to check out these libraries.

The Morgan Library And Museum

This library in the Murray Hill neighborhood of New York is also a combined museum which was previously the private library of the founder of JP Morgan. The architecture style is Renaissance and Palladian, and simply outstanding on the inside. Not many people know about this historic establishment, but it so worth your while!

Oblate Library

This library is located in the heart of Florence, Italy. The courtyard of this institution, along with the other designated outdoor spaces is simply perfect. The best part is that the cafe on the third floor has a direct view of the duomo-who could ask for anything more!

Bibliotheca Alexandrina

If you ever find yourself in Egypt, you have to visit the outrageous library in Alexandria. This super contemporary structure is located right on the Mediterranean Sea and is a major cultural and literary hub in the city.
