The interior of Grand Central Terminal is an amazing sight: the main

concourse is most impressive. It is 470ft long, 160ft wide and 150ft

high. The ceiling is painted by the French artist Paul Helleu. The

design with zodiac constellations was taken from a medieval

manuscript. Light enters the main concourse through three 75ft arched

windows. The western double staircase in Botticino marble was

designed after the large staircase in the former Opera building in

Paris. It connects the main concourse with the entrance on the

Vanderbilt Avenue. The floor of the concourse is of Tennessee marble

and the walls of Caen stone.
