I have always found old school buildings to be incredibly beautiful. Though I did my fair share of complaining throughout my former educational years, there was always some secret thrill to the school building itself. In 'afterschool' or perhaps while involved in a school play, for example, one got to roam the empty halls and peer into unlit classrooms. There was definitely something, a feeling of exhilaration upon realizing that to be in school after school meant no more rules.
La Classe in Belgium is a hotel created out of a converted school building. There's an anatomy room, a geography room - all tastefully furnished with the proper models and diagrams. This is elementary school for grown-ups!
my god, suddenly really wanting to visit belgium
