If you missed Disney’s live action remake of Beauty and the Beast, the dark academia deserves a look.
The film, which stars Emma Watson as Belle and Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens as Beast, gives us a first glimpse into the magical castle where inanimate objects are alive. While a peek at Cogsworth (Ian McKellan), Lumiere (Ewan McGregor), and Mrs. Pots (Emma Thompson) is exciting, we’re also fawning over the dramatic, scholarly interiors.
Peruse the slideshow above for some real-life libraries where you can pretend to be Belle, and check out the full trailer below:
Beauty and the Beast is in theaters March 17, 2017.
