NYPL Rose Main Reading Room Travel Tin Candle

Woodsy leather.

Murals of vibrant skies adorn the ceiling of this majestic space, a quiet oasis for study and reflection in a bustling city, inspiring a scent both woodsy and scholarly. Our mini candle comes in a tin container with an illustration of the Rose Main Reading Room's iconic tables and chairs. Portable and great for gifting.

One of New York City’s most iconic locations, the majestic Deborah, Jonathan F. P., Samuel Priest, and Adam R. Rose Main Reading Room measures 78 feet by 297 feet—roughly the length of two city blocks—with 52-foot-tall ceilings displaying murals of vibrant skies and billowing clouds. This breathtaking Beaux-Arts space weaves Old World architectural elegance with modern technology. Here, patrons can request material from the Milstein Stacks, the Library’s environmentally optimal storage facility located underneath Bryant Park with a capacity of over 4 million items. Visitors can also browse and read the thousands of reference volumes lining the shelves.
