    Very cool! Can’t help but think that the museum library is inspired by the main hall of the Stockholm City Library <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblioteket.stockholm.se&#x2F;about-the-stockholm-public-library-by-gunnar-asplund" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;biblioteket.stockholm.se&#x2F;about-the-stockholm-public-...

      Isn&#x27;t multiple floors of bookshelves with open central area a very common theme in large fancy libraries? For example British museum reading room, Oval room in France national library, Morgan Library &amp; Museum, Rose reading room in New York Public Library.

      The shelves can&#x27;t be very high to keep them easily accessible, adding additional levels solves that. Open central area with higher ceiling gives more natural lighting.
