Reviews for State Library of Victoria
nisakorn masunthasuwan
To visit the famously beautiful reading room on 3/F that you need to get on a small elevator to 5/F to see from a bird’s eye view. Cosy ground floor room with modern facility and air-conditioned room to work quietly or escape the heat. Very good vibe outside at the lawn. No wonder why local people love this place.

The State Library is known for its grand architecture, featuring classical columns and a magnificent entrance. The well-maintained lawn and the steps leading up to the entrance make it a popular spot for visitors. It's truly a blend of historical beauty and urban vibrancy.
Lorena Campos
It is the most beautiful library that I’ve been ever. It has the most amazing match between modernity and historical place. I recommend visiting the photo exposition. The music and the atmosphere is awesome. If you need to study or work in Melbourne just go there or just for visiting is incredible experience.

The state library in within the CBD, free entry. There are 2 large chessboards with people playing against one another. The reading rooms have awesome wooden benches. There's art exhibits at the library which was a pleasant surprise. The transparent glass dome was only installed in 2003; prior to that a copper covering blocked the sunlight but prevented leakage.

Love this space. Have done 2 free tours, which I highly recommend and are easy to book online. The volunteers do an amazing job and share stories that are incredibly interesting. Drop in for a visit whether you are a local or not.
