An Argentinian artist, Marta Minujin, has built a replica Parthenon for the 100-day ‘Documenta 14’ art exhibition in Kassel, Germany. It's made out of banned books as a comment on the importance of free expression to Western culture and civilisation: "The installation was made to start a dialogue on censorship, and was built on the site where Nazis burned books by Jewish or Marxist writers in 1933. It also has a twin exhibition in Athens."
