Such a good place to visit and hang out. Full of students doing their assignments as well as tourists checking their collections, but still nice and quiet.nnLearn more about Ned Kelly here. They also have his real armor on display. My wife use one of their library room to have zoom meeting. You can do this for free by making an appointment.
We made a special trip to this library, which is reputed to be the most beautiful. Sorry, but I didn’t borrow a single book, as I came purely to see this stunning architecture.nnLooking up at the double-height space, you can feel a sense of spacious, pressure-free openness.nnMany tourists kept taking photos, even as closing time approached. The staff repeatedly reminded everyone that it was time to leave, yet many were still reluctant to go. This alone speaks volumes about the charm of this place. Perhaps it’s not that no one was borrowing books, but the simple, substantial, and grand spatial beauty is truly unforgettable.
Visited the State Library Victoria and was completely impressed by its beauty and atmosphere.nThe main reading room — the La Trobe Reading Room — is breathtaking, with its grand dome ceiling and elegant symmetry. It’s one of those rare places where you instantly feel calm and inspired just by walking in. The mix of history, architecture, and quiet focus makes it a true landmark of Melbourne.nnThe library isn’t just for studying — it also features exhibitions, art displays, and comfortable reading spaces for everyone. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything was clean and well maintained. Whether you’re a student, traveler, or book lover, it’s the perfect spot to slow down and take in the culture of the city.nnDefinitely one of Melbourne’s must-visit places — peaceful, inspiring, and full of history.
Honestly so impressive. Loved the exhibition spaces, could wander for hours. Note there was wait time to take the lifts up/down to look down at the upper levels of the dome as there is no option to take stairs, so this does get crowded. Might be better on a weekday.
The library is beautiful, it's definitely a must see when walking around Melbourne. The dome is one of the main attractions and doesn't disappoint. Obviously it's still a real library so please be respectful as you walk around. There is a museum section as well and just a real pleasure to see.
