9 Of The Most Majestic Libraries Around The World By Franck Bohbot

It is believed that reading books makes a man wiser and get more open-minded. There’s nobody alive who doesn’t like reading any book. Our existence lies on it- it molds us, not only from the time we realize everything but also from how we learned things from beginning.

If you’re a bibliophile like me, you know what I’m talking about. Like us, there’s this person who appreciates the simple beauty brought by reading books and known to be a photographer. He is Franck Bohbot.

Bohbot is a French photographer who obviously loves to read books and has already visited some of the finest libraries around the world. In his passion in books and photography, Bohbot decided to travel around the world to document the most beautiful libraries and entitled “House of Books”, where he started back in 2012.

According to BoredPanda, Bohbot is also well known for his symmetric compositions. He likes documentary-style and capturing unusual atmospheres. Besides photographing libraries, he has already documented theaters, museums, trains stations, courts and swimming pools.
