The New York Public Library Shop

We went with our family and got an amazing experience in this Library like a Museum. Lots of things to learn from this place. The exhibition was awesome. Must visit if you are in NYC.

If you want to visit the famous Rose Room, you can't just walk in (unless you're doing research). You'll need to book a free guided tour through the library. They have tours 11am - 2pm. The rest of the library is beautiful too.

An absolutely beautiful historic library. If you're considering going soon, make sure you stop in and see the special "treasures" exhibit. It has some incredible historic pieces on display currently, from the original stuffed animals owned by A.A. Milne's son that inspired Winnie the Pooh, to an original draft of the declaration of independence and much more. The actual library itself is beautiful too, the lobby reminded me of buildings we saw in Rome.

Amazing library!! The building it is comlletely stunning, the interior is breathtaking and it is divided in floors. Each floor apart from anything else has also a toilet which is free. There is a bag control in the entrance but it definitely worths it 👍 (New York)

Born and live in New York city for 66 years never visited till today's exhibition tour. It is so huge, too much to see and experience in one day. I will definitely go back to seek out more treasures. A must see for everyone of different ages.

Great gift shop to buy souvenirs at a very reasonable price range.

What an amazing place to visit cheap. Did you know this library has a FREE pass? It is a great site, and so beautiful inside. We went there during winter, just to warm up, not realizing this place was free to visit! It consider it a hidden gem in New York, which people miss and are too concern with the busy and more touristy sites! Don’t miss this opportunity to visit this library!

Absolutely SPECTACULAR, free. exhibit. TREASURES.
Go see it.
The building and artwork are museum like. Not to mention the Woodworking in the reading rooms.
It's a must see!!

NYC Library nice place for walking and weekend.

The Polonsky Exhibition contained incredible artifacts, a great part of our visit, and free admission.

The best shop in NYC!!! I believe that the products of there is better than those in any other places such as MOMA and METH.

The library it was not open today, but many people are still visiting and it was still a really great trip.
Lots of people hanging out and just enjoying the day. It was really great

You will find your happiness in this shop ! Accessories, super nice books on everything, art, jewellery, mugs … go there after you visited the library. Tote bags are really nice. A bit busy but it goes fast

Lots of books and a cool exhibit of original stuff!

The blank books, the puzzles, the NYC centered books, baby gifts, leather bags, pencils and magnets!

I actually didn't get to go there today because Google failed me. It says here that it closes at 5 but that is not true I got there before 5 and they would not let me in 🙁
They close before 5.
I've been here before though and it's my favorite place to buy unique and special gifts.

Such beauty at this historic site and so many intricately detailed murals painted on the ceiling to showcase its grandeur. There were so many rooms that we were not able to see but I pretty much got the idea after a few and wondered how people that were actually there to study were still able to concentrate after the surge of tourists walking in, with the photo-snapping and talking - I'm surprised no one got shushed!

It is so beautifully decorated for Christmas! And the exibit Treasures is just amazing!!! It has a lot of unique items that were never displayed before. Such as the original hand written by Thomas Jefferson Declaration of independance. Also the good bye letter that George Washington wrote at the e d of his second term. Or the original William Shakespere book of poems.Original Star and Stripes banner. Old atlaces,medical book,the book of medical herbs. The desk of Charles Dickens. And many many more items. Very informative exhibit

Beautiful structure and spectacular exhibition

Such a beautiful building. The exhibition is fascinating.
