In this video, Jack and I take you along for a tour of one of my favorite places in Washington, D.C. - the Library of Congress. With all the other monuments and historic buildings in our nation's capitol city, a lot of visitors miss out on this one. But we are going to show you we think you can't miss checking this placee out in person! We will share some of the library's history with you and show you around the library's magnificent Thomas Jefferson Building. We will even see some of the highlights of the largest library collection in the world. If you are a book lover, a history lover or an art lover, I think you will enjoy spending some time with us at the Library of Congress.

I didn't realise how beautiful this library was! Thank you for showing us around!

@LivingtheSilverLife Год назад

What an absolute marvel in architecture. We have never been in the area long enough to explore. We definitely need to go. I know we would love soaking up all the history.

@trvlnthru Год назад

There is a lot of amazing architecture in Washington, D.C. And this particular building is one of my favorite examples of it. You should definitely try to plan a trip for a few days to explore if that interests you. We highly recommend! Thanks for watching and for commenting!

@JenniferandMark2014 Год назад

Wow! What an amazing place. Feels like I could spend days looking around in there. 🤗Jenn

@trvlnthru Год назад

You really could. There is so much to see everywhere you look in there. It is such a masterpiece of architecture and art. Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment, Jenn!

Like 22 👍 Greetings from Naples, Florida. LOL, you are so right, no one up there reads. We visited the Library years ago, and it was interesting. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Have a great week. 💯

@TheGrayLifewithJimPearl Год назад

Ok, we want a library card. How cool to have one. It so beautiful in there and so much to see.

@JohnsRetirementTravelVlog Год назад

Amazing library of Congress. Great historical place. Nicely done. Thanks for the tour.

@gooddayinbali Год назад

Very big and complete library. Nice sharing my friend

@V.W.A Год назад

Another place I missed when we in DC. That bottomless mimosa brunch really took us out thar day. Maybe next time. This does look really nice though. 173 million items across 4 buildings? Wow!! The Jefferson book collection is massive! Sad that so many of those original books were lost in another fire. Cool that they have such a large collection of audio files and photos. Awesome video!!

@VacationingWithTheValentins Год назад

👍🏻45 Wow so much history here! It really looks amazing! So much great architecture, sculptures and paintings! That's so cool how big Thomas Jeffersons collection was. Thank you for bringing us along My Friends!

@aatravelling7625 Год назад

What an amazing Congress Library, i would definetely like to visit this historical site. Thank you for the excellent presentation. Like 44. Have a great weekend!

@unowhotravelchannel Год назад

Love Washington DC, we've only been there once, so its great to see it again through your eyes! Brilliant tour of the Library of Congress👍

@TravelingTramps Год назад

Great joke, Jack! Well, sort of anyway. Enjoyed the Library tour. The closest we've ever come was in National Treasure! Part two, I believe. So many wonderful displays and amazing artifacts of our nations history. World history too! Loved the tour, Jack and Alice. Contrary though to popular belief most Congress men and woman can read! How else would they understand the bribe e mails and notes? 🤣🤣

@trvlnthru Год назад

LOL. I suppose that is proof that they can read. When they want to. It was amazing to walk in the same building Nicholas Cage once walked in National Treasure Two. We did not have time to search for the book of secrets though. But we did enjoy the afternoon walking through this beautiful biilding and enjoying the exhibits and the amazing artwork and architechture. Thanks for joining us for the tour!

@HeatherTravels Год назад

I go to our public library on an almost daily basis, and we love to check out the libraries in the cities we visit. This is incredibly beautiful, and I definitely need to check it out on a future visit to D.C.

@CookingstitchingWithShaheen Год назад

Like 14 😍 Beautiful place 😍 Thanks for sharing ☺️

@NaomisAdventures Год назад

Neat place to tour

@trvlnthru Год назад

The Library of Congress really is such a beatiful building. We are glad you enjoyed our tour!

@jesshavinfun3547 Год назад

Hey Alice & Jack, can't get over the architecture! Just amazing! I could spend an entire day studying all the details from the Ceiling down! Excellent Tour as always friends 😊.

@dnbtravels Год назад

Looks really amazing, impressive building👌and very interesting place to visit, great share guys, thank you and take care

@AdventuresAreOutThere Год назад

Great joke Jack! Beautiful building! Loved hearing about the Gutenburg Bible and the first printings!

@Abm30 Год назад

The structures are beautiful .and the view is very peaceful ..thanks for sharing this wonderful video .have a fantastic day

@TripNWithRed Год назад

I can't imagine how many artists and craftsmen it took to do all of those murals and the intricate designs of the column caps, etc. I'd probably spend the majority of my time there studying that. They were stunning.

@trvlnthru Год назад

It is amazing to think about all the many, many hours of work that must have gone in to this building and its architecture and artwork. It is amazing just to walk around looking at the walls and ceilings and floors. Everywhere you look is more beauty to study. I love this building! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

@PogiboyProductions Год назад

Yes the Library of Congress is such a beautiful building to visit. A highlight in DC! Love the architecture there and all the different paintings/sculptures you see inside! Thanks for the history guys!

@trvlnthru Год назад

There are so many highlights in DC. But this one may just be my favorite. Everywhere you look - walls, ceiling, floors - are so detailed and beautifully designed. Thanks for watching - and for taking the time to comment!

@cupcakescorner7684 Год назад

This is great looking library

@BubbaRayBiscuit Год назад

That's one of the places I'd love to visit some day! It looks amazing!

@FXWalesAnnaAlf Год назад

Hey Alice I can see why this is one of your favourite buildings, it's so beautiful, I loved the architecture and the statues especially those of Moses and the Apostle Paul must be great to see, and the carvings along with the paintings are beautiful . Loved the quotes on the walls and the stunning ceilings too. Jefferson definitely had a lot of books to kick-start this off ! It was really good to see inside the Librarian of Congress office and so interesting about the Gutenberg Bible. That was a great tour, sooo interesting :) ~ Anna

@trvlnthru Год назад

This Library is such a beautiful building. There is so much detail that you can just spend the whole day looking at the artwork and architecture and exhibits. We have visited several times and I was very excited to share it with the channel because I do love the building so much. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Hello, very nice video , this is really so impressive historical place really 🙂🙂...

@CowboyJojosAdventures Год назад

Thank you for an informative video. Beautiful architecture. Unfortunately when we visited Washington D.C. we missed this. Figures of Philosophy are well presented here. It was sad to hear about the fires. A huge collection. A great exhibit. Thank you for the tour Jack and Alice. Have a great week. 👍🏼🙏🏼❤🤗

Very nice vidz my friend. Keep it up and more vidz to come.

@blendedtravels Год назад

I have been to Washington DC a couple of times, but have never stopped at the Library of Congress. To be honest, I didn't think it was open to the public. I definitely plan to stop here in my next visit to DC. Great video! 👍😊

@thatplace1 Год назад

Cheesy intro but cute. Wow it took so long to have a separate library of Congress. The stained glass and tiles of Great Hall are stunning. Amazing to think some books of original country founders are here. Sheet music has some cool covers. Great tour and thanks for the tips. Cheers to the journey and adventure.

@TravelingWithEmMe Год назад

Such a cool building and I feel like that this is an underrated place to visit in DC! Emily is a librarian so this will be on our list of places to visit!

@TheJourneyAwaits Год назад

Ok yes Funny Joke I got it. Such a beautiful building. Thomas Jefferson I remember that he had all of those books. I did not know that about the ribbons colors with Jefferson's books. I have been in DC before and I could not see it all. 👍

@Royalizzieadventures Год назад

Here from Blended Travels' video! Just subbed to your channel and looking forward to seeing more. Cheers and best of luck!

@TheTolleRoad Год назад

This is a part of DC I’ve never visited. Looks like I need to check it out next time I’m there.

@IvorsTravels Год назад

An impressive building very much in the European tradition. The collection is so important for both today and the future. Knowledge should be shared as widely as possible, open to all. Dictators throughout history have tried to control what is known so that their agenda is not questioned. We still see that increasingly in places like Russia today. Freedom of information and access to the accumulated wisdom (or mistakes in history) is so important.

@jamuherbal Год назад

Hello friend good night my friend

@RetiredLovingIt Год назад

How amazing! This was closed when we were there so we didn’t get to see. What amazing architecture!! Thanks for talking us!

@trvlnthru Год назад

It really is an amazing building. We toured another DC building that was amazing as well... but we will show you that one in a couple of weeks. The Library of Congress is amazing to explore. The architecture and artwork inside and out of the building is so gorgeous. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment!

@SantosChronicles Год назад

Addison and I are headed to DC this week. So we’ll try to hit this library. This so beautiful. I don’t think I have made it there before. Any other must see when we go? Oh National Treasure 2 was filmed here. Will need to go here. Doing a DC filming location themed video. Really cool about those printed Bibles. Can’t wait to explore ourselves.

@ALifeintheParks Год назад

I’ve long wanted to visit DC and would like to visit places like this. The library has so much historical context itself and the architecture is incredible. Jack’s intro was awesome and on behalf of my countrymen sorry about burning those books.

@ColoradoMartini Год назад

I have been to DC many time. And LOC has been on my bucket list. But I never seem to make it.

@magicway3092 Год назад

Great video. Nice sharing. Support for you...❤️‍🩹😘🦋

@ColoradoMartini Год назад

I didn't know it was once in the capital building.

@TheAdventuresofMegGreg Год назад

Hahaha love your opening Jack lol. 🤣"well that was pretty much it..." haha. Love it! I've always wanted to visit DC. Wow a library dating back to the 1800s! Impressive how old that is! The architecture is so beautiful. Nice the Jefferson one is open for tours. The ceilings are incredible!!! Haha love the National Treasure 2 reference - how neat! Sad some of Jefferson's books are still missing, hopefully all are found some day. The Join In exhibit is neat too. Always have to end in the gift shop haha! What a beautiful place to visit. I would love to visit some day! Great video as always Alice & Jack :)

@SomeplaceOrAnother Год назад

Are you saying the members of congress can’t read 😂🤪

@trvlnthru Год назад

LOL. I am not sure if Jack's point is that they can't read or that they don't want to read. I suppose the result is the same either way. Thanks so much for watching our tour of the Library of Congress!
