I'm sure I could spend a lot more time looking at the various exhibits here but I had a short time and was disappointed I couldn't peek into the research / study hall. The corridors are lined with lots to read though and the free exhibit was good (Treasures).
We went with our family and got an amazing experience in this Library like a Museum. Lots of things to learn from this place. The exhibition was awesome. Must visit if you are in NYC.
Amazing library!! The building it is comlletely stunning, the interior is breathtaking and it is divided in floors. Each floor apart from anything else has also a toilet which is free. There is a bag control in the entrance but it definitely worths it 👍 (New York)
An absolutely beautiful historic library. If you're considering going soon, make sure you stop in and see the special "treasures" exhibit. It has some incredible historic pieces on display currently, from the original stuffed animals owned by A.A. Milne's son that inspired Winnie the Pooh, to an original draft of the declaration of independence and much more. The actual library itself is beautiful too, the lobby reminded me of buildings we saw in Rome.
If you want to visit the famous Rose Room, you can't just walk in (unless you're doing research). You'll need to book a free guided tour through the library. They have tours 11am - 2pm. The rest of the library is beautiful too.
