Inside the World’s Largest Library, the Library of Congress

Adam Savage goes inside the stunning Thomas Jefferson Building at the Library of Congress! Guided by LOC chief of staff Ryan Ramsey, Adam tours the world’s largest library — home to more 184 million items, including the Gutenberg Bible, Lincoln's copy of the Gettysburg Address, Thomas Jefferson's personal book collection, soaring Beaux-Arts architecture and a physical card catalog holding 22 million cards. Join Adam as he explores the United States' "palace to knowledge" for the first time, just steps from the U.S. Capitol. Have you ever visited the Library of Congress?
