These photos leave me speechless really.. So beautiful places, amazing architecture. I would love to visit all those places! Abandoned buildings fascinate and scare me.
How can something so beautiful be abandoned and let to rot?
Was it the tv?
We don't really have places like these in Finland. First of all, i think we've never had this many beautiful theatres even if you count all the beautiful thetres in the history on Finland and second, when a building is not in use anymore it's demolished pretty fast.

But there is hope! The article where these pics are from, was commented by a person who is involved in a project to restore an old theatre that was built in 1911. Check out their website and learn more about this wonderful project!
