French photographer Franck Bohbot appreciates the simple pleasure of reading books, so he decided to travel around the world to document the most beautiful libraries.
Currently living in New York, Bohbot started the “House of Books” series back in 2012, and has already visited some of the finest libraries, such as Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Biblioteca Angelica in Rome and the New York Public Library. The project is still ongoing, but it has already been featured on many popular art websites.
Bohbot is well known for his symmetric compositions. He likes documentary-style and capturing unusual atmospheres. Besides photographing libraries, he has already documented theatres, museums, trains stations, courts and swimming pools.

Would love to see more please...this was just paris and rome...
Not been to the UK then? We have some stunning historical libraries here along with some very modern ones all worth a visit
I agree, it says "AROUND THE WORLD" and I really wanted to see all, but its just a ploy to get us to click on it..............so stupid!
Very beautiful places!! But I would have added The Enoch Pratt free library in Baltimore! It is lovely and cozy and ancient!!
There are more...around the world;) - http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/christoph-steelbach-bibliotheken
Here`s more beauty of Europ! http://www.krusttevs.com/raksti/dzivesstils/re_ka/7198-video_ari_chatroulette_uzdarbojas_ziemassvetku_gars
Never imagine ,another reason to return to PARIS to look at the bibliotequettes in Paris
Check out the library of the technical university in Delft (Netherlands)!
I agree with UcheE. These are stunning but there are more in other places.
Amazing libraries. But there are more amazing ones in other countries too!
I guess that public study of Klementinum in prague is missing here :) http://text.nkp.cz/o...n_Fedorenko.jpg
Beautiful but you missed one of the best - The Cleveland Public Library - one of the greatest in the world (no kidding).
Beautiful libraries but missed some of the best - surprisingly, the Cleveland Public Library is one of the most beautiful.

Come and see the Reading Room in The Royal Danish National Library (next to the Parliament). It is a bit nicer :)

Gorgeous pics but a huge amount from Paris some from Rome and one from Boston does not count as 'around the world'.
You must know: Lello Library, Oporto, Portugal. The most beautiful Library in the world!
He should go to Ireland and photograph the Long Room at Trinity College.
To bad there are no libraries outside France and Italia. So rubbishm.waste of time
thanks for the inspiration...should i ever get to paris or rome i will go see this beauty!
the did not include Vienna or Prague yep Paris and Rome is not around the world
Certainly not a very good representation of "around the world" and the only library in U.S. is an awful pic of the one in Boston.
The Szabó Ervin Könyvtár in Budapest is really beautiful as well!! http://instagram.com/p/ZBFMd9mYLO/?modal=true
Yea, seems Paris and Rome are the only countries that have libraries. Well, we do have Boston. And I agree with UcheE
So is it intentional irony that there's not a person in sight (save for the two people in the hallway in Boston)
There are 3 other pictures with people in there...
