Library of Congress

 
Our next stop was the Library of Congress.  My girls were very anxious to see this place....all those books in one place :)  But I had never been in the outer hall before and it looked like a slice of Europe.  The paintings on the ceiling and the columns.  Absolutley beautiful.






The Library stores one of the three complete copies of the Guetenberg Bible that exist in the world.  There were paintings surrounding the exhibit the illustrate the process of making a book and then Gutenberg at the very end of the cycle of paintings.
