Tales from the Stacks
The Russian State Library in Moscow was reworked from a design for a hydroelectric power station. Though it now houses more than 40 million books and periodicals, some 40,000 were lost when the opening of a nearby metro station caused subsidence.

The tango has migrated north and is now the most popular music and dance in Finland. Richard Coles reports on Valo, a six-week festival of Finnish culture at the Barbican. He concentrates on cinema, with a film about Sibelius as well as Land of Happiness - all about that dance. Plus a review of Chicago, the song-and-dance musical by John Kander and Fred Ebb which, laden with awards won on Broadway, hits the West End.
