While in Manchester a few days ago, I stopped by The John Rylands Library.
The John Rylands Library was founded by Enriqueta Rylands in memory of her husband John Rylands. In 1889 the architect Basil Champneys designed the striking gothic building, which took ten years to build and was opened to public readers on 1 January 1900.
This is the breathtaking reading room:

The windows in the reading room were designed specifically to let daylight in, but obscure the view in or out, to help people stay focused on their work.
Arches in the hallway

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure what this is. Some sort of room off of the main hallway. :)
If you're ever in Manchester, make sure to stop by The John Rylands Library.
