When a theatre becomes a bookshop

According to Flavorwire, El Ateneo Grand Splendid is considered one of the most beautiful bookshops in the world.

I got this information when I visited Buenos Aires in August, from a ‘porteño I met there.

I love bookshops, and it is one of the places I never miss when I am abroad. But when I got inside El Ateneo I couldn’t believe my own eyes … What do you think?
