The beautiful dome

By Heather

Thursday 06 December 2012 0 Comments

I first saw the dome when I moved to Melbourne in 1998 and I loved it on sight. The symmetry and spaciousness of the library are beautiful. The exhibition of books and the story of Victoria always have something new and exciting to offer. It is a peaceful, beautiful space where you can spend time immersed in history and then suddenly come out to one of the balconies with its wonderful light and view. I visit the dome at least twice a year, and always take visitors to Melbourne to see it.
