A Parthenon of banned books

Argentinian artist Marta Minujín, 74, created a full-size replica of the Greek Parthenon from 100,000 copies of banned books. Located in Kassel, Germany, as part of an art festival, it stands on the historic site where the Nazis burnt over 2,000 books in 1933. There are over 170 titles that have been banned in various countries. The structure is made of the books, plastic sheeting, and steel. Mein Kampf is specifically not included.
