Tenerife School of Scenic Arts
The level of cultural activity in Santa Cruz, the capital of Tenerife, is very high. In 2002 the Tenerife Insular Council and the Canarian government decided to build an educational facility for the scenic arts. The project was placed in the neighbourhood of buildings of related cultural use, such as the Faculty of Fine Arts, the Faculty of Applied Arts, and the Music Conservatory.

The Tenerife School of Scenic Arts has a size of 3360 m2, allowing for 80 resident students, 120 periodical attendants, and 41 teachers.

Salisbury Cathedral

Salisbury is unique amongst medieval English cathedrals, for the major part built within a generation (1220-1258). The building itself is remarkable, a testimony to the faith and practical skills of those who erected it. Salisbury to the southwest of London is a centre of pilgrimage for hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Every day, century after century, people come here to worship. So in 2003 the 60-year old chairs of the Salisbury Cathedral were ready for a much-needed replacement.
