Winged heads of 80 Ethiopian cherubs create an ethereal atmosphere that transports visitors into another realm entirely. Across Europe in Dublin's Trinity College Library stands another magnificent example - The Long Room. Its wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling stretches endlessly above rows upon rows of ancient books. This hallowed space is steeped in knowledge and whispers stories from centuries past. Delving further eastward brings us to Moscow's Komsomolskaya Metro Station where commuters are treated not only to efficient transportation but also to an extraordinary visual experience.
