The Library of the History of Human Imagination
The Walker Library of the History of Human Imagination is a private library and collection of artistic, scientific and historical artifacts. The Library was founded and is owned by Jay Walker.
The 3,600 square foot facility is a wing of Walker’s home in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It contains about 30,000 books as well as maps, charts, artworks and a wide variety of museum-level artifacts. It is not open to the public.
== Architecture and Art ==
The Library was constructed in 2002 to house and showcase a collection of books and artifacts that Walker had been assembling for twenty years.
Designed by architect Mark P. Finlay and owner Jay S. Walker, the room combines traditional architecture with floating platforms, multiple stairways, and a glass bridge.〔 The bridge connects the entryway at the middle of three levels. Sound and lighting were designed by artist Clyde Lynds. A series of illuminated, etched glass panels, approximately 3 feet tall x 4 feet wide, are used as part of the railings around the stairs and platforms. Each of the nearly 200 etched panels depicts, in symbolic form, one of the seminal inventions of human history.
