Reviews for State Library of New South Wales
Georges Younes
Situated in a neo-classical building with modern extensions, the State Library of New South Wales is a must see for library fans. Its main reading room is attractive, if a little too pale and in need of more warmth. There are several galleries to visit, including one that has a remarkable collection of historical portraits of people who left their mark on Australian history. There's also a cafeteria that has decent food at reasonable prices and a shop that sells books and souvenirs.

A good place for students to study. Axqiluite place to be. At the second floor there was a exhibit of mostly oil paintings well preserved. A must visit when visiting Sydney. The State Library serves for research and learning of the literature and culture that spans for centuries.

Visited the State Library of New South Wales near the Royal Botanic Garden. It's an awesome library experience with a wide, quiet area for studying. Loved the traditional vibe, and they have plugs at every table and free drinking water. Outside food or drinks it’s not allowed. Great spot and worth it for studying in central Sydney.

Very quiet, a good place for students to study. What surprised me was that there was an exhibition hall upstairs that preserved many historical oil paintings. The employees were very friendly and polite. Photography is allowed here, but lighting equipment is not allowed. You can also enter with backpacks and trolley cases.

Whenever I am in Sydney I visit this most interesting place. They always put on fascinating exhibitions and the gallery of paintings contains some very interesting paintings. The cafe there has a good range of items on the menu and there is a very good shop there too. You could easily spend a couple of hours exploring this place
