The three Russian National Library buildings are 
an integral part of the Ostrovskogo Square.Of 
the interiors that have remained intact in the old 
building the Gothic Room (The Faust Study) is of 
interest (architect I.Gornostayev, 1857). The 
decor of the room reproduces a typical decor of 
the 15th-century library chamber.
