Worth a short stop just to see the library - a striking room. Also saw small exhibit there that was just OK
It sure is a great relaxing time spent in the library even if you simply admire the architecture, spiral staircase and browsing the books. If nothing else, simply being there and the esthetics is very pleasing.
We attended a wedding held at the library and it was absolutely stunning. The surroundings are as if you are in a Harry Potter movie. Large and luxurious bookshelves, marble floors, and the echo of your voice travels forever. Very unique and wonderful event. I would recommend a wedding or major event here.
I had a friend whose child got married in this fabulous place. It is a historic building, with a wonderful and beautiful book collection, lovely furnishings.....just a charming place.
once again if you like history...you have come to the right city...All of our land marks, museums, parks, inner harbor, resturants, are worth visiting in Baltimore
Amazing library to see. Open center area with5-6 floors of books visible from the open area. It's free and just around the corner from the Walters Art Museum. Stop in and take a look. It will only take a few minutes and you won;t be disappointed!
There really isn't a more beautiful library around. Although the entrance is quite ordinary, the library itself is breath-taking! A definite must see!
JMJ Reminded me of Trinity Library in Dublin..nice to see the USA has such classy places. Check on what the exhibit is before you go and spend time getting educated.
We visited Peabody Library, it's not a traditional library where you can check out books, but there are students studying and old books lining the walls. Downstairs, concerts are held. Sometimes there are free ones as well. Worth a stop, it's one of the most beautiful libraries in the world.
A very special place, stacked top to bottom with books (many rare)--like a walk back through history. Not your traditional tourist attraction, but well worth the visit!
