点评:The New York Public Library Main Branch aka, the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building is a beautifully designed Beaux Arts style building and one of the most prominent and iconic landmarks of New York City.
Located in Midtown Manhattan, New York and designed by the renowned architectural firm, Carrère & Hastings, the library opened to the public on May 23rd 1911. The New York Public Library Main Branch is one of the four research libraries of New York’s City’s Library system and contains an estimated 2.5 million volumes in its awesome collection.
Due to its rich and storied heritage, its impressive architectural features, its vast collection of books, manuscripts, tablets, and papers, and its appearance in numerous shows and films such as “Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961), “Ghostbusters” (1984), “The Thomas Crown Affair” (1999), & Spider-Man (2002), the New York Public Library Main Branch has been listed on the U.S. National Register Of Historic Places, and was declared a U.S. National Historic Landmark.
In January of 2019, I brought my wife and myself for a visit to the library and we very much enjoyed our exploration of this remarkable institution. We were in awe of the building’s grand marble facade and its 2 stunning lion statues, nicknamed “Patience” & “Fortitude” both of which are located near the library’s main entrance. Other points of interest that we enjoyed seeing were “The Rose Main Reading Room” the “Astor Hall” the Wallace Periodical Room & the “McGraw Rotunda.” Each of these areas are immaculately designed, and are unquestionably worth visiting and viewing!!!
When traveling to New York, both my wife and I highly recommend for everyone to stop by and explore the New York Public Library Main Branch!!! You’ll have fun and will certainly bedazzled by this breathtaking landmark!!!

2019 年 1 月,我带着妻子和我自己参观了图书馆,我们非常享受对这个非凡机构的探索。我们对建筑宏伟的大理石外墙和两座令人惊叹的狮子雕像感到敬畏,绰号“耐心”和“坚韧”,这两座雕像都位于图书馆正门附近。我们喜欢参观的其他景点包括“罗斯主阅览室”、“阿斯特大厅”、“华莱士期刊室”和“麦格劳圆形大厅”。这些区域都设计得非常完美,绝对值得参观和观赏!!!
