Reviews for State Library of Victoria
Karine Suzuki
The place is amazing. Has so many places with great access to a variety of history. Great place to explore and read a bit of each history. So clean and very organized. the sculptures outside of Jeanne d'Arc and St George were well preserved.
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.
Flower Power
The experience in visiting the State Library in Melbourne was amazing. Ticked my bucket list. I just love it. So very well organised and very clean. Brilliant architecture! When in Melbourne, you must add this to your list.
Michelle Burdett
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.
Hermione Le
So relaxing, huge and breathtaking library. Their main reading room covered with full of books. Plenty of seats and electric points. Strong wifi connection, but it's a public wifi so be mindful. Full bright room to read books and study. This is a reference library so they don't allow to borrow books to home, but you can reserve and read within the library. Very respectful, quiet and friendly. Also there is a kid friendly place for family.
