The National Art Library



So the National Art Library is located in the Victoria and Albert Museum, it is a magnificent place as you can see. The annoying part is that you can't check anything out!! You can use the books there, but it's a little annoying to not be able to bring the wonderful books home with me! I have a feeling that this place will be my main hang out place next summer. I'm not super bummed about that seeing as it's not so shabby. I snuck these photos because there was this crazy scary security guard/ welcome lady to at the entrance of the library who basically was mean if you made noise and probably would've thrown me out if she saw I was taking photographs, because the world is scared of photographs these days. You'd think the brits would be used to being on camera seeing as they're on public camera 90% of their day. just a thought....

anyways, just wanted to share the beautiful library goodness

  1. Hi Tracie! The library does look cool....but why don't they let people check out books, or is it just because you are not a citizen there?
    Have you seen the movied Julie/Julia...forget the exact name, but it is about a year of blogging on cooking and Julia Childs...it's a pretty cool movie....maybe your blog could turn out to be like that.....:)
    How is the weather over there? How do you feel about living there?
