Yes we took the main floor tour. It is an amazing place... personally I liked the outside better... the inside is dark and gloomy. What really struck me though - was - since I've just returned from Italy where there are truly amazing 1000 year old structures -- is how fast the exterior of this place is deteriorating! Since much of it is poured concrete or limestone... the building is already losing it's DETAILS... unlike the buildings of early Europe that were carved from marble and granite and have amazing details to this day.
