Beautiful 100-year-old theatre converted into a bookstore
Previously, we’ve shown you some of the most stunning libraries around the world, and it seems beautiful architecture and books go hand-in-hand. An almost-100-year-old theatre in Buenos Aires has been thoughtfully converted into the most incredible bookstore you’ll ever see.
The Grand Splendid Theatre first opened in 1919, before being turned into a cinema and, in 2000, into the El Ateneo Grand Spendid bookshop.
