The Book Museum.

The Book Museum. Summer is vacation season, and a good book remains one of the best travel companions you can have. Some of us still remember the quiet ritual of walking into a public library and leaving with a book in hand. Today, places like these can feel like time capsules. Especially the New York Public Library on 5th Avenue. It is stunning from the outside — a palace that announces itself with a regal, commanding facade. But inside, in the halls and corridors, it becomes something completely different. Perhaps that is why I love walking through libraries: every corridor leads somewhere. Sometimes to another room. Sometimes to another era. And sometimes to another life.
