Hi Oscar,

it is about the /buildings/ of galleries, libraries, archives and museums
that are at the same time a monument. Of course people should photograph
every glam they can - but only the ones that are also a monument can wín
something :)

>> Just to add to Tomasz' points (which I agree with): since the GLAM
