Interior room of the new National Library of Peru

Part of the plans for the reconstruction of the National Library of Peru, after its fire occurred in 1943, was the construction of a new premises.
In the present photograph, we see that the construction system of boxed ceilings was used, which allowed for a greater distance between columns, thus achieving a building with a freer floor plan and with fewer walls.
In addition, we see the implementation of a series of marble sculptures brought from Italy, which were previously in the facilities of the Santa Clara Mill.
