Reading Room at the British Museum
May 4, 2009I spent some time at my local library branch the other day, and it reminds me of how these spaces foster curiosity, questions and, at times, even a dazzling sense of wonder. That was how I felt when I walked into the Reading Room at the British Museum a few years ago (below, drawn from a blog post I posted at the time)…
The Reader 
One of my very favourite rooms. It was such a great idea to open it up like that and use it as a reference library. I haven’t been in a while – I wish I could – and hope it is back to normal after being used as an exhibition space.
