The Parthenon of Books is an art installation by Marta Minuhim, part of Documenta 14, featuring over 100,000 banned books. It aims to provoke discussion on censorship and literature. Located in a German park where Nazis once burned books, the installation includes works from authors like Mark Twain and Cecily von Ziegler. The books were donated by the public and will be distributed to visitors to inspire future readers.
