Library of Congress: Oldest Federal Cultural Institution in America

I love the Library of Congress. Who doesn’t? It has to be one of the most, if not the most ornate building in the city. If you haven’t been inside, you need to, because it’s beautiful and extremely impressive … almost like you’re in Europe.

I also wanted to share with you a few photos from a GoDC reader Joseph (aka, @librapaj). These are two nice indoor shots of the library and our first user contributed photographs. Thanks Joseph!
