WHAT IS THIS
WHAT IS THIS
WHAT
IS THIS A LIBRARY IN A THEATRE
ALL OF MY DREAMS HAVE JUST COME TRUE
HOME. THIS IS WHAT HOME LOOKS LIKE. I’VE FINALLY FOUND IT!
WHERE IS THIS
For starters, it’s not a library.
It’s a bookstore.
Specifically, it’s El Ateneo, a book shop in the heart of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Originally built as a theater in 1919 (Teatro Gran Splendid), it was renovated into a bookstore in 2000 where it serves as a flagship store of the Tematika bookstore chain of stores (which El Ateneo is a part of). All the fixtures from the theater, including the stage, curtains, and seats, are intact.
For your perusal, El Ateneo’s centennial page; http://www.elateneocentenario.com/ It’s mostly in Spanish.
And now you know the rest of the story. Good day.
