Flickr actually had a large selection of images from Dumbarton Oaks, which is the first academic library at which I worked. It was a fantastic place in the heart of Georgetown, with acres of world class gardens and classically inspired statuary and stonework. In addition to housing one of the world's foremost Byzantine libraries, it's also home to 2 separate museums and an extensive pre-columbian library. It was the site of the Dumbarton Oaks Conference, which laid the groundwork for the formation of the United Nations.
