The Stockholm Public Library is the subject here, a building that Swedish architect Erik Gunnar Asplund designed and that opened in 1928 as a landmark of Nordic classicism. Its round reading hall, under a dome of stone and glass, was built to give visitors a bright, open place to read and browse the shelves. The photograph was taken by a Flickr user and shared under a Creative Commons license, so it captures the building as it looks to a modern visitor rather than as a period document. Pay attention to the rotunda's proportions and the way natural light falls across the interior.
