Like the others I was drawing a complete blank so I used a different approach. As the building was not coming up in any of the searches, I reasoned that it was probably in a place that is off the usual tourist trails. I was thinking maybe somewhere in the former communist dictatorships of eastern Europe. I did Google image searches for "national theater" and "concert hall" in combination with communist or dictatorship. Using "concert hall communist" led to this article with a similar looking building but without the dome - http://leonidpetrov.wordpress.com/20...n-north-korea/

I then searched for "Pyongyang concert hall" and found it - http://www.fotopedia.com/wiki/East_Pyongyang_Grand_Theatre#!/items/f92u9unugujk0-RxcW5mnKswM

It was not in the part of the world I thought it may be, but sometimes you get lucky :)

Great get. Sorry, sick as a dog yesterday (not much better today), didn't even touch the computer.

Good image, Spexx. :)

Thanks.:blush:

In a way, this was a really great search for me.

Even though I could not find it, I did lots of Google Image searches
on words like "modern architecture music", etc and saw some really
beautiful buildings... particularly the interior stairways, and stages.

I cry foul... I'm searching and looking, and then where's it at ? went ! :confused:

I was pouting. I'll get it back. Sorry. I'm a moody bitch.

You need to give it some time. That was a really hard one. Look how long spex's opera house took.

so where was it, anyway? I was doing all sorts of Gothic revival mansion searches and coming up empty.

Hey! Moody bitch!
Bring it back (please)

:blush:

Moody impulsive bitch got it back! Thanks guys. Sorry.

If it wasn't a mental institution then it should have been!

I was thinking it was the ~~Danbury nuthouse in Connecticut.~~ Danvers, in Mass., rather.

I have an eye for nuthouses. (but not for their names, apparently)

In France? Is that a clue? You don't normally type in French.

It's a clue, but the place isn't in France. ;)

Sorry you didn't get a quick response, IM. I, personally was going through like ninety-fricking-nine pages of "historic hotel postcard" images. This here's a toughy, so far.

No biggie. Just that the other day there was some lightning fast guessing, answering, and posting and then I got on it and...(chirp chirp chirp)

Pay me no mind, my Aunt makes me paranoid.
