I was only going to the Library to cross it off my list however once I stepped inside it was the most breathtaking things I have ever seen! It is a must see

This was a surprise. When we went there I was not expecting the place to be so beautiful. There were cheribs (sp) babies on the banisters going upstairs. There is gold on the ceiling tiles. Gutinburg bible is housed there, but no pictures. The designs and the paintings were outstanding. They have tours each days and they explain everything to you. ...

If you have about two hours to burn come here and take a guided tour (free, but you may have to wait a while to get a guide). It takes about an hour and a half, you learn a ton, and this place is gorgeous! Also, for lunch check out the library's cafeteria across the street. A little pricey, but tons to choose from, and when you see the prices at other restaurants you'll realize it's totally worth it.

the tiltle is a little misleading. this was a "10" for me. I found the art incorporated into the building most rewarding, and surprisingly beautiful. couldn't have had it better!

We arranged for a tour of the Library of Congress through our senator's office, and it was one of our best experiences in Washington, D.C. Only a tour guide can explain all of the history and architecture/art of this magnificent place. After the tour there were several exhibits that we viewed on our own (and thoroughly enjoyed), including the Bob Hope exhibit.

One of the most beautiful interiors of any in DC area. Exhibits are well done and very informative. Souvenir shop usually has some great bargains. Must stop for any visit. Next door is the Supreme Court - go there after this.

I am surprised this is not higher on the list. This really is my favorite building in D.C. The tour that they offer is wonderful, and really give you a chance to learn some really interesting things about the building's gorgeous architecture. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone coming to Washington.

This building doesn't receive the word-of-mouth it deserves. I was delighted that my wife and I decided to tour the Library. It's just across the street from the Capitol building and far more impressive. After visiting both, I would advise people with limited time to just completely skip the Capitol and go here instead. There are few ...
