The Grand People’s Study House: “It has a total floor space of 100,000m and 600 rooms. The library was opened as the ‘centre for the project of intellectualising the whole of society and a sanctuary of learning for the entire people.’

The building can house up to 30 million books, of which it contains around 10,800 documents, books and ‘on the spot guidance’ Kim Il-sung wrote. Foreign publications are available only with special permission.”
