How can you not be inspired when "being there"?

Beautiful pictures! I'd like to share one as well from the Plantin-Moretus museum in Antwerp, Belgium. This used to be the house of Christophe Plantin, publisher and printer. There were 2 libraries in the house - unfortunately I only photographed one of them. You can see the picture by scrolling down a bit on my fan page. Enjoy!

This reminded me of the wondrous feeling of going to the library as a kid. Our library wasn't nearly so architecturally elaborate or grandiose, but still they seemed immense and people spoke in reverent, church-like, hushed tones.
