I have an understanding of lenses and how the human eye works. I knew immediately there was distortion in the photo. And I've seen the roof of the building. The building has a forced perspective. The front by the stage is narrower than back. But it's fairly gentle, not extreme like in the photo.
It looks like the building was designed to be covertly shaped like a serpent. Secret societies are called secret societies for a reason. Kudos to the photographer who thought to snap a pic with a fish eye lense, exposing the serpent.

i have a question.
Is that distortion on your snake photo come from a fisheye lens or was that photoshopped?
The extreme curvature in that photo moves the windows and walls close together. This not what the building looks like.

But that's not what the building looks like.

There are several more online. You can also look at the building using google earth.

Camera lens can get much wider angles that the human eye can. Fisheye lens push this distortion so much, they can't take rectangular images https://cms-assets.tutsplus.com/legacy-premium-tutorials/posts/22676/images/22676_30e13675077d1c30750d55c13e84d492.jpg
It would be hard to get a similar picture that has both full windows in the show without a fisheye lens.
This was taken closer to the stage, but notice the lines of the ceiling are not distorted.
