The Library of Congress now contains the largest collection of books in the world, with 100 million items, including a Gutenberg Bible, first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. It is located in Washington D.C which I hope to visit one day but for right now the virtual tour online is ideal. It has its own tab so all you need to do is click on it and it will prompt you to another page where you choose what building or gallery you would like to visit virtually. This online exhibition not only allows you to see the same collection that is currently on display, but also many additional exhibit objects that have been taken out of exhibition for conservation reasons. I first visited the galleries like the Family Gallery, where the artwork is mesmerizing. I also enjoyed the Poetry Gallery where famous poets like William Shakespeare, have their poetry depicted to murals and visual art. I visited different parts of the building that hold many of our nation’s history.
