The Library of Congress is quite possibly the most beautiful interior in Washington, DC. The reading room is okay, although I don't particularly care for it. But the Great Hall is striking.
Sure, it is something of a temple to reason and human learning and books, but the decoration is so attentive to loveliness, that you feel emotion to be well represented. The ceilings are quite remarkable as is the proliferation of mosaics and clean white marble.
