Interesting library-like places visited...


El Ateneo Grand Splendid is a famous book store Buenos Aires in Argentina; just how beautiful is this place?

I had the privilege to visit this marvelous bookstore in Buenos Aires during IFLA 2004... The building housing El Ateneo Grand Splendid was opened as a theatre called 'Teatro Gran Splendid' in 1919. The building was then converted into a book/music shop by Fernando Manzone. Read more about it below...
