We had the privilege to visit the Dag HammarskjΓΆld library at the @UN Tuesday.
The library houses all the #UN documents and publications.
πππππππ
The library was named after the second Secretary-general of the United Nations, and he remains the youngest person to have held the post, having been only 47 years old when he was appointed in 1953.
The building was constructed in 1961, and is a post-modern architectural archive in itself, as few renovations or changes have been made since the 1960s.
This is at the detriment to many of their invaluable documents.
