This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. They feature a different top ten list every week. For this week's topic, I will list the top ten libraries of the world that I would love to visit. These are all on my bucket list!
1. Admont Abbey Library in Admont, Austria
2. Old Library in Trinity College, Dublin
3. Austrian National Library in Hofburg Palace, Vienna (I have been to Vienna once, but was not able to make it to the palace. Planning another trip to Vienna next year and this one will be on the itinerary for sure!)
4. Baroque Library Hall in Clementinum, Prague (planning a trip to Prague for Thanksgiving . . . this is going on the itinerary!)
5. Royal Danish Library, Copenhagen
6. Rijkmuseum Library, Amsterdam
7. Strahov Monastery Library, Prague
8. Abbey Library of Saint Gall, Switzerland
9. Bodleian Library, Oxford
10. France National Library, Paris
Is there a library on this list that you have seen? Which one would you most want to visit?
Wow, those libraries look so beautiful!! I'd visit them in a heartbeat!!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are so incredibly gorgeous!
DeleteOh my they all look so beautiful!! Hope you get to see some of them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. Me too!
DeleteWow, you have some gorgeous libraries on your list this week. I think my favourite is the France National Library, Paris. I'm actually travelling to Copenhagen in November, so maybe I might get the chance to see the Royal Danish Library! :)
ReplyDeleteBrocs Bookcase . . . oooh that sounds like so much fun! I really hope you get a chance to see it. If you do, let me know how it is!
DeleteThese are all pretty much amazing! I've never been in a library even close to being as impressive as any of these.
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Thanks Nicole! Yeah, as great as libraries are in the States (because of all the books they contain), they are not nearly this elaborate.
DeleteI love your top 10, this was really cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteI lived in Vienna (my son was born there, actually), so I did see no. 2. I also saw nr. 9. we went to Oxford often (Hubs went there), and visited pretty much every college, lol. We stuck a Merton poster over our son's crib when he was 2! (No pressure, of course...) Another awesome list!
ReplyDeleteHa, that is awesome Ramona! I have been to Vienna once, but I wasn't able to visit the library there. I will be going back though, so I will change that.
DeleteThose libraries are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie!
Deletegod those are seriously so gorgeous! especially Admont Abbey Library in Admont, Austria
ReplyDeleteLily . . . I know, that one is my favorite! I have been to Austria, but not Admont. I really want to go there at some point. These libraries are so elaborate and amazing. Love it!
DeleteThose are all amazing. I like the Austrian one, and #4 as well. All of them though really...
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg! I think the Austrian one is my favorite too. :)
DeleteWhat gorgeous libraries. I loved looking at these photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissi! They do look pretty amazing. I really hope I get to go to some of them.
DeleteI've been to Trinity College library and Bodleian Library and both are amazing experiences. They all look fantastic, in particular France National Library. Hopefully someday :)
ReplyDeleteOh Trish, you are so lucky!! I really hope I can visit all these on the list. :)
DeleteOmg they are all so gorgeous!!! It'd be amazing to see them all in person!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, they certainly are Ginger!! I hope I can see them. :)
DeleteThese are so cool. They make the library in my town look cheap. :)
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Ha AJ, you are so right. I have never seen any library in the States that look like these. Gorgeous!
DeleteMan, these are so beautiful. And the Royal Danish Library is really interesting and different!
ReplyDeleteStefani, yes they are! I do love the look of the Royal Danish Library. I really hope I cam visit it one day. :)
DeleteThese. Are. GORGEOUS. My goodness. I NEED to go to the Admont Abbey one- holy beautiful, that one is just... wow. I am also SUPER mad that I missed that library in Copenhagen when I was there too. Plus, it was raining, that would have been perfect! Sadness. I hope you get to go to ALL of these, and take lots of pictures for us :D
ReplyDeleteShannon @ It Starts At Midnight
Thanks Shannon! I do think the Admont Abbey one is my favorite too. Believe me, if I visit any of these, I will share pictures galore. :)
