I recently discovered Curious Expedition's compendium of beautiful libraries and Oddee's 20 of the world's most beautiful libraries — now that's some fantastic reading. I've sifted through their lists and come up with my favorite 15. I didn't include private libraries—I'll do a separate post dedicated to those in the future.

[Abbey Library of St. Gallen, Switzerland]


[Austrian National Library, Vienna]


[Admont Monastery library, Austria]


[Reading room at the British Museum, London]


[Klementium Library, Prague]


[Bad Schussienreid Library, Germany]


[Melk Monastery library, Melk, Austria]


[George Peabody Library, Baltimore, Maryland]


[Real Gabinete Portugues de Leitura, Rio de Janiero]


[Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice]


[Library at Strahov Monastery, Prague]


[Trinity College Library, Dublin]


[Wadsassen Abbey library, Bavaria, Germany]


[Wiblingen Monastery library, Ulm, Germany]


[Biblioteca Geral of the University of Coimbra, Portugal]
