 As you step into the McKim Building, the library's historic wing, you’re immediately struck by the quiet beauty of the architecture. Designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Charles Follen McKim, the building features arched walkways, elegant marble staircases, and stunning murals. One of the most famous installations is Edwin Austin Abbey’s murals depicting the quest for the Holy Grail—a must-see for any art lover.
