Library of Congress
訪問に最適な時期
Weekday mornings right when doors open at 8:30 AM are the quietest, letting you enjoy the Great Hall nearly to yourself. Spring and fall offer the most pleasant weather for walking over from the Capitol or Supreme Court.
予算のヒント
Entry is free, no ticket required, but you need a timed-entry pass during peak seasons (bookable online at no cost). Skip the paid guided tours and use the free audio guide available on your smartphone.
おすすめ対象
Book lovers and literature fans, History buffs, Architecture enthusiasts, Photography enthusiasts

概要
クイックファクト: メイン閲覧室は天井高160フィートのドーム型で、図書館は470の言語にわたる1億7500万点以上のアイテムを所蔵しています。トーマス・ジェファソンは、1812年の戦争中に英国軍によって元のコレクションが焼かれた後、1815年に自身の個人蔵書6,487冊を議会に売却しました。
見どころ: グレートホールに入り、上を見上げてください。高さ75フィートのステンドグラスの天窓が頭上で輝き、大理石の柱と金箔のアーチに囲まれています。世界に3冊しかない完全なヴェラム写本のうちの1つであるグーテンベルク聖書は、気候管理されたケースに収められ、15世紀のインクは今も鮮明で読み取れます。
インサイダーヒント
- Enter through the Jefferson Building's ground-floor door on First Street SE, not the main steps, to skip the security queue on busy days.
- Stand at the exact center of the Main Reading Room's floor and whisper: the 160-foot dome creates a perfect acoustical focal point.
- Visit the second-floor mezzanine for the best photo angle looking down into the Main Reading Room without the crowds.
- The cafeteria in the Madison Building is reasonably priced and has outdoor seating, far better than the overpriced carts on the National Mall.
