Library of Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

Nestled in the heart of Ireland, the Library of Trinity College Dublin, recognised for its pursuit of knowledge and the rich tapestry of history. It traces its roots back to the inception of Trinity College in 1592, where it has since flourished into an institution revered worldwide. Renowned for its illustrious artefacts, including the famed Book of Kells, the library has captivated scholars and art enthusiasts for centuries. Amidst its hallowed chambers is the Long Room, which is an impressive 65 metres long and is adorned with marble busts of prominent figures. Among its other treasures are the Brian Boru harp, a symbol of Ireland"s rich musical heritage, and a rare copy of the 1916 Proclamation of the Irish Republic. For fans of television and lore, a fascinating tidbit awaits: the Long Room was featured as a substitute for a reading room in the TV series "Foundation," displaying its timeless charm.
