The Eden Project is a visitor attraction in

Cornwall in the United Kingdom. Inside

the artificial biomes are plants that are

collected from all around the world. The

project is located in a reclaimed Kaolinite

pit, located 1.25 mi (2 kilometres) from

the town of St Blazey and 5 kilometres (3

mi) from the larger town of St Austell,

Cornwall.[1]

The complex is dominated by two huge

enclosures consisting of adjoining domes

that house thousands of plant

species,[and each enclosure emulates a

natural biome. The domes consist of

hundreds of hexagonal and pentagonal,

inflated, plastic cells supported by steel

frames. The first dome emulates a

tropical environment, and the second a

Mediterranean environment.

The Getty Center, in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California, is a

campus for the J. Paul Getty Trust founded by oilman J. Paul

Getty. The $1.3 billion center, which opened on December 16,

1997,[2] is also well known for its architecture, gardens, and

views overlooking Los Angeles. The center sits atop a hill

connected to a visitors' parking garage at the bottom of the hill

by a three-car, cable-pulled tram. The center draws 1.3 million

visitors annually.

It is one of two locations of the J. Paul Getty Museum. This

branch of the museum specializes in "pre-20th-century

European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts,

sculpture, and decorative arts; and 19th- and 20th-century

American and European photographs".[3] Among the works on

display is the painting Irises by Vincent van Gogh. Besides the

museum, the center's buildings house the Getty Research

Institute (GRI), the Getty Conservation Institute, the Getty

Foundation, and the administrative offices of the J. Paul Getty

Trust, which owns and operates the center. The center also

has outdoor sculptures displayed on terraces and in gardens.

Designed by architect Richard Meier, the campus includes a

central garden designed by artist Robert Irwin. GRI's separate

building contains a research library with over 900,000

volumes and two million photographs of art and architecture.

The center's design included special provisions to address

concerns regarding earthquakes and fires.

New British

library

The British Library is the national library of the United Kingdom.[2] The library is a major research library,

holding over 150 million items from many countries, in many languages[3] and in many formats, both print

and digital: books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, sound and music recordings, videos,

play-scripts, patents, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings. The Library's collections include around

14 million books,[4] along with substantial holdings of manuscripts and historical items dating back as far

as 2000 BC. British Library is one of the two largest libraries in the world, the other being The Library of

Congress.

As a legal deposit library, the British Library receives copies of all books produced in the United Kingdom

and Ireland, including a significant proportion of overseas titles distributed in the UK. It also has a

programme for content acquisitions. The British Library adds some three million items every year

occupying 9.6 kilometres (6.0 mi) of new shelf space.[5]

The library is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

It is located on the north side of Euston Road in St Pancras, London (between Euston railway station and

St Pancras railway station) and has a document storage centre and reading room at Boston Spa,

Wetherby in West Yorkshire.

The library was originally a department of the British Museum and from the mid-19th century occupied the

famous circular British Museum Reading Room. It became legally separate in 1973, and by 1997 had

moved into its new purpose-built building at St Pancras, London
