Bibliothèque François-Mitterrand

Officially, this is the François-Mitterrand site of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, but it is more commonly known as the François-Mitterrand library, after the former President of the French Republic who decided to build it. Designed by architect Dominique Perrault and opened to the public in December 1996, the library consists of four towers, symbolically representing open books.
