The Library of Parliament in Ottawa
The Library of Parliament in Ottawa, Canada holds a special distinction, as it is the only library featured on Canada’s ten-dollar bill. The design of this national landmark was inspired by the British Museum Reading Room, and includes white pine panelling with beautifully detailed carvings of flowers, masks, and mythical creatures. The collection encompasses about 600,000 items, which are looked after by a dedicated 300-member staff. While access to the facility is generally restricted to Canadian parliamentary business, tours are often made available to the public.
