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 that 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

They forgot one…

The TARDIS Library, Somewhere in time, and space.

Anamorphic Sculptures

These sculptures are created with such mathematical precision that the image can only be seen as a reflection. To get this effect the London-based artist, Jonty Hurwitz, first scans a 3D object, then distorts it with a computer using π algorithms. His final pieces, made from steel, resin, perspex, or copper, have to be viewed next to a round reflective cylinder – only then do the objects come into focus.

“Don’t fool yourself. English isn’t inherently superior, or easier to learn, or more sonically pleasing. Its international usage comes from forceful assimilation and legacy of colonialistic injection. It isn’t a deed that one should take pride in.”

- my uncle left this comment on his friend’s Facebook status, a white British man who was bragging about how easy it is to be a native English speaker when trekking to different nations. (via commanderspock)

BREAKING: Brazil’s National Council of Justice just ruled that ALL couples have the right to marry.

It’s a beautiful day for Brazil - no one should have to face discrimation because of who they are or who they love. Spread the word!
