🏛️ The Library of Congress

A magnificent Gilded Age architectural treasure—the true embodiment of a temple of knowledge! ✨ Stepping inside instantly fills you with a profound reverence for learning and human achievement 📚🙏. Its collections are incredibly vast and awe-inspiring, including priceless treasures such as: • The draft of the Declaration of Independence 📜 • The Gutenberg Bible • Albert Einstein’s original manuscripts ✍️ • Shakespeare’s First Folio 🎭 ...and so much more!
