This Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas Library is not only a paradise for bookworms, but also a “Spanish castle” in the heart of Kuala Lumpur! 🏰✨ Every corner has a classic European vibe with curved arches, rough stone walls and tall wooden bookshelves – it feels like you’re lost in a fairy tale world!
📸 THE “BEST” VIRTUAL LIFE CORNER:
· Spiral wooden staircase like a French castle
· High bookshelves with warm yellow lights
· Arched window corner overlooking a cool green space
· Long hallway with rough stone walls, “royal” vibe
✨ IDEAL OOTD: Neutral-colored long dress (white/beige/brown) or vintage shirt + wide-leg pants to enhance the luxurious background!
🏰 Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas Library, ISTAC
✔️ Exquisite architecture, artistic design - a "hidden gem" virtual living corner that is extremely chill
✔️ Diverse books on history & culture, perfect study space
🎯 NOTES:
– Tourists: will register at the counter to enter the library
– IMPORTANT: The library is closed on weekends & holidays - Malaysia is strange in that: the library is closed on the freest weekends 😂 The library here is probably used for viewing, not for use! 📌
📍 ADDRESS: Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas Library, ISTAC, Kuala Lumpur
