Which country is home to the most beautiful library in the world?

Answer: Denmark

Wired recently placed the Dokk1 Library in Aarhus, Denmark, at the top of its list of the most beautiful libraries in the world. The 323,000-square-foot facility also won the Public Library of the Year Award for 2016.

Dokk1’s angular shell is perched on the shore of the city harbor, while floor-to-ceiling bay windows illuminate a sleek modern interior. A large bell hanging above the central staircase, which is connected to a local hospital, chimes with the birth of each new child.
