Prague's Strahov Library is the most beautiful library in the world.

Housed in the city's Clementium complex, it's not only filled with thousands of books, but gorgeous frescoes and different antique objects of historical curiosity.

The Strahov Library is a testment of what libraries are supposed to do. While some people might bemoan bookless libraries as a forerunner of the apocalypse, libraries have been more than just about books for centuries. The best libraries aren't places where books sit and gather dust. They're access points to research information of all kinds. The Strahov Library has always been a place that honors knowledge itself. The internet is just the latest step in that same tradition.

Take a look inside the most beautiful library in the world.
