Museums and Libraries
I've been on a personal mission of sorts to go to every major museum and now I might have to do libraries!
Check out this post of awesome looking libraries to go see in your travels. While I find the whole 'porn' reference strange, it can't deny the power of the photos. [via]

Those photographs are really beautiful. It makes me sad to think of the grand, Beaux Arts building of the Brooklyn Public library main branch (shaped like an open book from the air) - the 2 story, paneled entrance lobby is not full of books at all. In fact there is not a book to be seen. Just circulation desks, computer terminals around the wall, a cafe and art in display cases.
