Since 1983 the work of the well-known architect Henri Labrouste, the Salle Labrouste, has been protected as "historical monument". The reading room located in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France show a beautiful space with nine domes adorned with ceramic tiles that diffuse the light evenly. To support the vaults, iron arches resting on sixteen cast iron columns are running down the centre. This combination of contrasting tones, colours and materials allow to give the intellectual spirits and stimulating atmoshpere to the reading room. One of the very special characteristics of this space is the presence of medallions of artists, including a single female medallion illustrating the writer Madame de Sévigné.
