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.

[Admont Monastery library, Austria]
[Reading room at the British Museum, London]
[Klementium Library, Prague]
