2018/10/14 Centre Pompidou

π 2018-10-14 01:01 in Museums, Paris

It has been so many years since I was able to enter Centre Pompidou due to a completely ridiculous line to even enter the building, never mind the exhibits which can have hour+ lines themselves too.
I thought pre-purchased tickets would help, but really not so much. Thankfully the line getting in wasn't terrible, but some temporary expos still had very long lins. So, we went to see the other ones first, and thankfully they were open late, so we were able to see the other ones later.

Modern art is well, variable. There were some interesting bits, others were so-so:

I definitely wouldn't put this first in a visit of Paris, starting with how hard it is to get into it, but I'm happy we got to see it eventually.

This was an unusual find in Zaragoza during our day visit. Off the beaten path but very worth the visit, very fancy pieces:

2018/10/08 Madrid Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum is a very nice small-ish but very complete museum on all kinds paintings over the years. As a nice gesture, it was one of the few museums that actually still allowed pictures. Thanks to them for that:

2018/10/05 Madrid Archeological Museum

π 2018-10-05 01:01 in Museums, Spain2018

Madrid is full of museums, but a very nice one is the Archological Museum that we had to go twice to due to runinng out of time the first day. We had to pay again, but it was cheap enough that it didn't matter. It was well worth 5-6H on its own:

A nice section on money
