In any case, here are some photos.  The highly-hyped Baldacchino (a colorful reinterpretation of fixtures like this one at the Vatican): 

The exterior of the Baldacchino.

And the inside:

The oh-so-closed-to-being-finished interior of the Baldacchino.

And the retro-red box office:

And the rat traps, all in a row: 

Rat traps. For catching rats.
