The State Library of Victoria

The State Library of Victoria Another landmark for visiting Melbourne is the library. This is the state library of Victoria with beautiful architecture. It is worth seeing with your own eyes at least once, especially in the La Trobe reading room, which is a dome-shaped room inside the building. Sunlight shines down from the glass on the dome above, adding brightness and beauty to the area inside. This library is also open for use / reading as usual. Therefore, tourists like us should not make noise when entering, so as not to disturb others who come to read. *Advice for visiting the La Trobe reading room: When you enter the library, walk straight in and you will see the first elevator on the right. Press the elevator to go up to the 3rd floor to see the view of the library from the highest floor first. Then, slowly walk down the stairs. Because the beauty of the library on each floor and each corner is different. It is recommended to take your time to walk around because sometimes there are good exhibitions that you can visit for free. #TravelAbroad

Literary Marvel Meets Grand Design at State Library Victoria 📚🏛️ Step into Melbourne’s State Library Victoria for a visual feast and cultural deep-dive! From towering domes and sweeping staircases to historic collections and modern exhibits, this architectural gem is a must for art, history, and book lovers. 🧭 Route & Must-Do’s: Kick off at the iconic Swanston Street facade and head inside to the awe-inspiring La Trobe Reading Room—a cathedral for bibliophiles with its six-storey dome (seriously, you can’t miss it!). Wander into the galleries displaying rare books, indigenous artifacts, and local treasures. Be sure to check any temporary exhibitions, which often feature quirky highlights. 📸 Insta-Worthy Photo Spots: Snap the sweeping symmetry of the reading room from upper galleries for that classic shot, or get creative with the stained-glass windows in the Cowen Gallery. You’ll also find elegant marble staircases that set the scene for dramatic portraits. 🕒 Practical Tips: The library is open daily from 10:00 AM–6:00 PM, so it’s easy to fit into any city itinerary. Entry is free, and there’s good Wi-Fi if you want a creative pit stop. Early afternoons are busiest, so visit just after opening for the calmest experience and best photos. ⚠️ Precautions & Local Insight: Bags must be checked before entering gallery spaces; lockers are available but can fill up quickly, especially on weekends. Stay respectful—many visitors are here to study! Grab a coffee at Mr Tulk (the library café) for a tasty break. #Melbourne #StateLibraryVictoria #Architecture #Culture #TravelTips
