Naast boekhandels zijn er ook een aantal hele mooie bibliotheken op de wereld waar elk boeken hart helemaal wild van wordt. Een van die plekken is voor mij persoonlijk toch wel de oude bibliotheek van het Trinity College in Dublin. Het bezoeken van deze bibliotheek stond al enige tijd op mijn bucketlist en deze heb ik er eindelijk af kunnen strepen.

Deze bibliotheek bestaat uit een aantal ruimtes maar de bekendste en meest indrukwekkende is toch wel The Long Room . Dit is een ruimte van ongeveer 65 meter lang die gevuld is met bijna 200.000 boeken.

Aan de zijkanten van deze ‘gallerij’ staan borstbeelden van onder andere vele bekende filosofen die onze wereld rijk is. Het is maar een ruimte maar ik was erg onder de indruk van het geheel. Als je een keer in de buurt bent is het zeker een aanrader om te bezoeken! Let wel op: je moet vooraf of ter plaatse nog wel een toegangsticket scoren om hier naar binnen te mogen – deze zijn €11!
Wat vindt jij van deze bibliotheek?
