Two book stalls, the FIs and another local theological book seller toward the back.

Much of the art in the building was modern and strange but I liked this one.

The library was pretty nice.
They had some beautiful models of churches on display in the lobby.

“Wait, are you trying tell me that prime matter actually exists?!!”
Just kidding, making up a Franciscan caption. (Whether prime matter exists by itself or not is a hotly debated subject between Franciscans and Dominicans but such contentious issues were not discussed at the symposium)
