Biblioteca Vasconcelos is a library located in Mexico City but it's not just a typical library…read more It's a unique library that has a futuristic design with floating bookshelves all over. Like other libraries this one is free and you should not make too much noise because people are still here reading or focusing. The library spans multiple floors and was a little dim and it was hard to take pictures. However, the architecture was still really cool to see. I wouldn't come out of my way to come here but I was planning on visiting the area so it was a nice stop.

We went over to Biblioteca Vasconcelos, more so as tourists, rather than as users of the library's…read moreservices. As you can see from the photo, the shelving structure is unique and not something you'd see in most libraries. We wandered around the library and took photos from various angles. There's also a garden for those who want to go outside

Open during the week at 9 a.m., walk through the grand wooden doors and find the security desk. They'll check your I.D., check your temperature, and give you hand sanitizer. Then they'll guide you through the passageway into the grand room. The murals started in the 1970s and are by a Russian-Mexican artist. They are very colorful, making my five-year-old daughter love them as well! There's a small exhibit in the lobby about the murals. Admission is free.

If you love books and libraries then I recommend you pay a free visit to this unique library in an…read moreold church. You have to show ID and leave any bags at the secured entrance. There are beautiful huge murals inside which are picture perfect.

We stopped by the Central Library of UNAM a few weeks ago when we were exploring the area for a…read moreday. As the main library of the biggest university in Mexico (and Latin America), it holds one of the largest collections in Mexico (holding over a million volumes - including over 500,000 books). But we were there for the art and architecture! The building is covered with a mosaic mural - Historical Representation of Culture - by the Mexican artist Juan O'Gorman. The mosaic mural (made of tiles of different stones in 12 different colors - including turquoise) is one of the reasons UNESCO proclaimed the library (and the central campus) a world heritage site. The building also has basalt fountains and decorative reliefs inspired by pre-Hispanic art and a section of the facade covered with natural colored stones that allow light through. It's a pretty amazing building, and you can learn a lot about Mexican history and culture from the murals on the building. I recommend checking it out on your own or as part of a tour if you're visiting Mexico City and are interesting in exploring UNAM.

A 30-minute Uber ride from the Centro Historico is a mural-covered library worth the trip.

Without the murals, the building itself is boxy and not very impressive. With the colorful murals, the building stands out on campus and is worth a visit for anyone who loves architecture, design or art. Once you're done seeing the library, explore the campus. There are several huge grassy areas where people picnic or walk their dogs.

Finding the entrance was quite difficult, you must enter the municipal building and go to the second level. There were no signs or guides indicating this, so we thought we walked into the wrong building at first. The library itself is beautiful and significant, but I feel like the organization of information and how it's delivered could be improved upon. There was just the one room of the library. No other rooms or exhibits were included with admission. My suggestion to the majority, stop by and peak inside the door to get a glimpse. We paid for admission and felt a bit let down. There are a few who will want to see such a significant library, and for them it will be worth it to pay the admission.

The owner, Chipis, gave us a tour and a showed us some of the high points of the reconstruction. WOW. This place is awesome. Part library, part bookstore, part lecture hall, and all class and style. Includes a cafe and a bar with a snack bar type of set up and ample corners and nooks to do some reading and quiet reflection. Love it, wish I had more time here. Cabeza OUT!
