National Library....so many thoughts! So many books in the stacks....having to climb the movable stairs to get a book on the balcony that is on an end stack....How do they clean the windows? The scaffolding for the painting and where is St. Jerome in all that scramble of painting!
Still...Impressive!
The artwork, architecture and books create an aura that makes it worth getting lost among the books. Especially given the history. One just hopes they can turn back the Muslim savages before it is too late, else this will be fleeting.
