The Library of Congress is an absolute masterpiece—a stunning blend of history, art, and knowledge. From its breathtaking architecture to its vast collection of over 170 million items, every corner inspires awe.

Whether you're a scholar or a casual visitor, the experience is unforgettable. A true gem of Washington, D.C., and a must-visit for anyone who loves learning and culture.

I do not believe! This luxury sense is actually a library! Really, I am going to be impressed by this gorgeous style! Washington has such a place. The Library of Congress is one of the world's largest collections of books. The library consists of three buildings, the Jefferson Building, the Adams Building, and the Madison Memorial Building, but only the Jefferson Building is for visitors. Although it is called a library, it is actually a huge museum. There are 75 million works in the library. In addition to books, there are many artists' works such as manuscripts, records, journals and so on. Not to mention that there are so many collections in the museum that people are overwhelmed. The architectural style and design of the library is also deeply fascinating to me. There is a sense of luxury everywhere, and even the bathroom feels quite luxurious! Especially the interior domes and ceilings, each with a different picture and style, are so rich in design and luxury. If you look closely, you will find that some English words have been decorated.

Do you know the Library of Congress? In fact, anyone can enter! It's a gorgeous building that looks great in photos! The location in the second photo I was able to enter the first time I went, but the second time I couldn't because it overlapped with some event... It seems that you can enter and not enter depending on the timing. Because it's a library, the inside is very quiet, but it's a nice place, so if you're going to Washington DC, be sure to check it out! Business hours Monday to Saturday, 8:30am to 5pm Closed on Sundays and holidays #Travelingwithme #WashingtonDC

#WinterTravel This trip… I intended to check in and walk around the Library of Congress, the world’s largest library. It has been in use since 1800 until today. Free admission for the public. If you want to borrow a book, you need to get a card first. Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 Mon-Sat. There is The Library Shop selling souvenirs. The interior is beautifully decorated. We were amazed by this library. Our favorite zone is the Main Reading Room. It was so wow. When we arrived, we walked from the tunnel, a walkway connected to The Capitol. #TravelAmerica #TravelAbroad
