O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: This stunning neo-Gothic cathedral of books houses over 150,000 items, including a Shakespeare First Folio and original Beatles lyrics handwritten on a napkin. The 12-meter high King's Cross ceiling soars above 120,000 hand-painted golden tiles that sparkle like a medieval manuscript.
Istaknuto: Step inside and look up: the 12-meter reading room ceiling is covered in 120,000 hand-painted gold tiles, each one individually crafted by Moroccan artisans. A single tile costs more than most people's monthly rent, and the room was modeled after a 15th-century Italian Renaissance library.
Insajderski savjeti
- The quiet reading rooms on the upper floor are open to anyone with a free visitor pass just bring photo ID.
- Photography is allowed in the main staircase and lobby, but flash is forbidden near the rare book displays.
- Visit the small exhibition space on the lower level to see rotating displays of original manuscripts and letters.
- Arrive 15 minutes before opening to watch the doors swing open and see the hall nearly empty.
