Kalach hung the whole collection in the air so the building reads as one endless section. Walk to the far end, look back down the suspended nave — the most vertiginous interior in the city.

Alberto Kalach's megalibrary — glass-and-steel shelves suspended in a vast void, with a whale skeleton floating at the center. Free, and jaw-dropping.
