This is the libary at the Van Abbe Musea (Eindhoven, NL).

Impressive libary, a contrast of modern architecture and all these very old books.
The libary is not very big so I was very glad I was able to make this picture in this angle.

Just cropped it a bit.



The Van Abbemuseum is one of the leading museums of modern and contemporary art. With the renovation of the old museum building, which dates from 1936, and its integration into the spectacular new section in 2003 (designed by the Amsterdam architect Abel Cahen), the Van Abbemuseum is visibly responding to the ongoing changes in museum culture, and to the growing expectations of the public. The exhibition space now covers an area four times as large as it used to be. Besides a revolutionary exhibition programme that highlights all the latest developments in contemporary art, its own internationally renowned collection, with famous masterpieces from Picasso, Chagall, Lissitzky, Beuys, and many more, is displayed on a permanent basis.

Hi, I like it very much, it has pattern and repetition due to the books, bookshelves and architecture.

Great shot full of rectangular geometry and colors. Excellent composition.
Bravo!

Hoi Jerrie; prachtig zoals die trappen ritmisch afdalen in je foto. Ik heb altijd de neiging alles recht te krijgen op een foto, maar dat lukt niet door de groothoekkromming en schuin perspectief. Blijbaar sta je niet in het midden. Die verdraaide boekenplanken (net als ramen in gebouwen) vragen erom om recht gezet te worden. Maar dat is mijn oog hoor.
Ik vind die monokleuren beneden erg leuk.
Soms vind ik het leuk als er iemand bij opstaat, daar wacht ik dan vaak op.
Dank voor je bezoek aan mijn gallerij en groet,
Huub

This is a book lovers deram. Nice use of the building architecture the stairs and the shadows as well. Maybe the image could benefit from a slight straightening of a couple of degrees. But that is only a minor thing, as the image is pretty good the way it stands.
