This gigantic neoclassical library with a dome looks the largest in Manchester. Opened for the first time in 1934 by King George V, it received £ 48 million over four years, until March 2014. So, today, the Mancuniens take pleasure in taking over this building, imposing in the heart of their city, just steps from the town hall. If the huge Reading Room, its 300 seats, its marble columns and its central pendulum are the main attraction, the monument houses a very popular music section and a coffee on the ground floor. There are also 30 books dating back to 1500, as well as exceptional collections on the work of composers Handel and Vivaldi, or writer Elizabeth Gaskell. A place where it's right to stop.
