NYPL - The New York Public Library

Built on the cusp of the twentieth century, The New York Public Library building was and still is an architectural masterpiece. Though I live in Toronto, I frequent the mega city frequently. On one of my recent run-ins with the city, I had a few hours to kill before meeting a friend of mine and so I decided to venture inside the rather intimidating building. What follows is my journey through its arches, stairways, reading rooms and exhibitions. The entire experience made me wonder if I could show what I saw to other people who either don’t have a chance to appreciate this gorgeous building or don’t bother to venture in, even if it is right in their back yard, so to speak.
