Hidden Details of the New York Public Library | Architectural Digest
There is a lot of thought and intention put in old buildings. It makes me think that people in the past didn’t focus on time as much as they focused on detail and without a doubt, quality.

An amazing library. I always take the time to visit the New-York public library when I go to New-York city. I am always happy that I did. I was so amused when I recognized the library in the ghostbuster movie. 🤪🤪🤪
this is heaven for me loll would love to do some research here
Banana fish fans crying watching this😭
im crying
the "historian" that continues to be barely eloquent and constantly has to use the lame phrase "sort of" —is the epitome of an unpolished speaker.
Nice sharing

Did they say that the Gutenberg Bible is worth 100 billion? Cuz I doubt it’s even worth 100 million. The last time a Gutenberg Bible sold it was to a Japanese university and before that was to the Huntington library, and that was in the 1990’s. And the time the going rate was about 30 million, so one would surmise with inflation and appreciating value would bring the price to double the 1990’s value so in the range of 60-70 million dollars but not in the billions, though I must’ve misheard.
Where are you Ash..
5rh and 41st.
For real #Hay Hay
I am curious about the building's HVAC system. Air conditioning? Heating during the winter?
15:44 LOL!!! Very very good!!! I appreciate my librarians having a sense of humor!
my soul is always with this library.
…and god created New York!
istg imagine someone just coming here for educational purposes and people are here like 'Ash is just taking a nap there'
"Sayonara New York, Sayonara America, But I wont say sayonara to you Ash. Because this isnt a goodbye, I know we'll see each other again.. someday" 💔
We all here because of banana fish?
Sayonara New York, Sayonara ash

Please confirm.
One narrator is plenty.
Not me crying over ash😭🍌🐟
this is just great content through and through
So beautiful! But then you see the plastic trash bins in the Rose Reading room…lol
The Library building looked beautiful enough just surrounded by the grounds, as it may have been originally planned. The buildings which were subsequently added around it seem to compete for attention, and thus strain the atmosphere around the Library as one of claustrophobic existence.
The responsible granddaughter predictably trade because school conceptually spill from a righteous olive. divergent, sordid boot
