The New York Public Library is also called the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, which is a landmark in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. Its architectural style is Beaux-Arts. Beaux-Arts emphasizes the magnificence and symmetry of the building, and is mostly used in large memorial buildings.

紐約公共圖書館也被稱為Stephen A. Schwarzman大樓,是紐約曼哈頓市中心的地標。它的建築風格是布雜藝術,強調建築的宏偉、對稱,多用於大型紀念建築。

After entering the library gate, you can see the first floor lobby, known as Astor hall. Pretty white marbles cover the walls of Astor hall

進入圖書館大門後,可以看到一樓大廳,即Astor hall。漂亮的白色大理石覆蓋著阿斯特大廳的牆壁。

This is McGraw Rotunda, which in on the third floor of New York Public Library. The McGraw Rotunda contains numerous murals by Edward Laning. The ceiling mural is called "Prometheus Bringing Fire to Men", which attracts me the most.

這是McGraw Rotunda,在紐約公共圖書館的三樓。McGraw Rotunda裏有許多愛德華·拉寧的壁畫。天花板上的壁畫叫“普羅米修士給人類帶來火”,最吸引我。

You also can see “Rose Main Reading Room” on the third floor. So many people sit in this room reading. There is one sign in front of the room says “Quiet Please” because there are many tourists visiting and taking photos. Moreover,the ceiling is also decorated with gorgeous chandeliers, which is impressive.

在三樓還可以看到Rose Main Reading Room。雖然有許多觀光客在參觀及照相,但因為有非常多人坐在這間房裡看書,所以牌子上寫著請安靜。天花板上也垂著非常華麗的燈飾,讓人印象深刻。

Wow, the New York Public Library is a sight to behold. I wonder how old this structure is and does it undergone restoration in the past? The structure seems to have a touch of old art especially the paintings on the ceiling.

To my understanding, this structure is established more than one hundred years ago and it definitely underwent restoration. 😀

Hello @abundancelife, it made me happy to see this! I love libraries and to see all of these books with so many people using the space definitely stirred wanderlust. I didn't know Breakfast at Tiffany's was filmed here as well. Oh and welcome to Architecture+Design Community!

Thanks for your warm welcome. I'm glad you like my post!

Library one could thoroughly enjoy all the art, history and decor in.

Excellent photography, thanks for sharing @abundancelife
