The Grand People's Study house on Kim Il-sung Square in Pyongyang, North Korea, Korean style building housing the central library


The Grand People's Study House is an odd mixture. Said to have been built in 10 months by our tour guide, but 21 month elsewhere (more likely) it has internal signs both in Korea and English and feels like a place of study, complete with demonstrated ranges of music and books (Beatles, Harry Potter). Computer terminals abound, but we were not permitted a good look at what was on them.
