Museu del Disseny de Barcelona

When I first saw the name of this museum I actually thought that Barcelona had a museum devoted to Disney movies....I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that it is a actually a museum that celebrates both the modern and classical design style of furniture, cars, clothes, appliances, and graphic design. This was especially interesting to me because I like learning things with a visual component; for me the information sticks with me if I can associate it with an image.

The exterior of the building doubles as a park where people can relax and enjoy the sun.

"How the hell did they get a car in there?"- was something that crossed my mind while taking this picture.

Just like everywhere else in this city, FC Barca appears in some form or another. This time its a poster for the inauguration of the stadium's renovations in 1957. This is interesting because it was during the Franco era which suppressed the Catalan culture especially the football team. 

My experience here was shortened due to time constraints but I feel like I learned more about the fashion of early Catalans and europeans by seeing the museums exhibition of underwear over time. You can learn a surprising amount about fashion and body shapes just by looking at a bunch of panties from the early 20th century. Nonetheless, this was a very cool museum that I'm glad I had the opportunity to visit.
