World’s most beautiful libraries

We get so many pictures submitted to the page that we have a raft of library photos. These are a mixture of private and public libraries, some old, some new, but all truly and absolutely beautiful.

We’ve added locations and any details that we have on each one, we hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

The Theological Hall of the Strahov Library in Prague, part of Strahov Monastery.

This library is pretty stunning anyway but this is a concept of how a new wing may look.

The best library I ever saw I think, and definitely my favourite: The Law Library at Munich.

The Free University of Berlin Library is absolutely stunning, very modern but I love it.

This is a beautiful photograph of a beautiful library. This is the Biblioteca di Admont, Austria.

This is Library Hall, Klementinum in Prague in the Czech Republic and it’s simply divine.

The Library of St Gallen, Switzerland is just completely and utterly breathtaking.

From the UK, here’s Coventry University Learning Centre looking very modernistic.

Tama Art University Library in Tokyo combines brutalist concrete with smooth curved lines for dramatic effect.

We couldn’t have a best libraries list and not include Magdalen College Old Library at Oxford University.
