We made a special trip to this library, which is reputed to be the most beautiful. Sorry, but I didn’t borrow a single book, as I came purely to see this stunning architecture. Looking up at the double-height space, you can feel a sense of spacious, pressure-free openness. Many tourists kept taking photos, even as closing time approached. The staff repeatedly reminded everyone that it was time to leave, yet many were still reluctant to go. This alone speaks volumes about the charm of this place. Perhaps it’s not that no one was borrowing books, but the simple, substantial, and grand spatial beauty is truly unforgettable.

Such a good place to visit and hang out. Full of students doing their assignments as well as tourists checking their collections, but still nice and quiet. Learn more about Ned Kelly here. They also have his real armor on display. My wife use one of their library room to have zoom meeting. You can do this for free by making an appointment.

Melbourne city library is the iconic site I feel the most impressed about the city. Full of cultures, paintings, artworks and writing works here. I had the most relaxed and enjoyed moments here on the weekend. Perfect.

The library is beautiful, it's definitely a must see when walking around Melbourne. The dome is one of the main attractions and doesn't disappoint. Obviously it's still a real library so please be respectful as you walk around. There is a museum section as well and just a real pleasure to see.
