Our last day in Catalonia. Malcolm and I took ourselves off to the Museu de Ciències Naturals de Barcelona, commonly known as the Museu Blau. It’s in a really new part of town, Diagonal Mar. As the name suggests, it’s a thoughly geometric sort of area. Look.
And many of the museum’s contents are pretty geometric too. These fossils for instance …
… or shells …
… or butterflies & moths …
… or arachnids.
It’s a pretty fine museum. In an interesting area. And not on the tourist circuit. Yet. Recommended.
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Oh, this looks interesting!

Fabulous angles, Margaret! Intrigued by that first shot. Love the building more than the contents but a great last day out. Where did the time go? Safe journey home! So much rain around, it’s tricky.

Certainly Barcelona offers some amazing constructions. And so much to see. Safe journeys home. We finally have mud here and small streams overflowing with so much rain.

WOW! Sometimes my Son shares some new architecture designs. But I haven’t seen this, fascinated me. I think architects seem that they will make us amazed. Geometrical designs but never done before, something like that. Yes, you did a great post dear Margaret, Thank you, have a nice day, Love, nia

I’ve not been to Barcelona for many years, put off by all the tourists, ironically! Your photos over the past few weeks have made me think again.

That looks like such a striking building, it definitely appeals to me. I’m not so sure about the exhibits though, as I’m not a big fan of dead butterflies etc. The fossils are great however 🙂

All I can say in their defence is that they were collected in different times. The museum has them, so may as well make some kind of use of them. But yes, creepy.
