The Municipal Library of #Prague is close to the city center, and it’s a diverting place to escape the crush of Old Town and relax in the serenity of bookland. For locals, the library is a cultural center with book clubs, author talks, concerts, films, and storytelling classes. But visitors from far-flung locales are invited to step inside and enjoy this shrine to knowledge, too. The lobby entrance features a book sculpture called Idiom. Created by Slovak artist Matej Krén in 1998, it combines 8000 interlaced books and mirrors to create a seemingly infinite spire of books. A tear-shaped opening in the side allows you to take a stirring look inside the tower. From the outside, the books are like bricks (steadfast) and reeds (pliable) that are interlaced to form a woven wall of words. 🎥: @rave.in.the.sky #architectanddesign • #design #czechrepublic #czechia #books #bookstagram #library #infinity #booklover
