Inside the Library with Christoph Seelbach

Abbey Library in Austria

Luckily, one of the places German architectural photographer Christoph Seelbach likes to take pictures is at the library.

Seelbach traverses his home country and other biblio hot-spots in Europe to capture the internal grandeur of the library.

 From the classic Abbey Library in Austria to the more contemporary City Library in Malmo, Sweden Seelbach invites us on a journey through these shrines to the printed word.

Seelbach seems to be following in the footsteps of fellow Cologne-based photographer Candida Hoffer whose 2005 monograph Libraries chronicled the interiors of some of the world's greatest libraries.
