Shakesperian
An old poem I just found:
"Oh, if only we would talk this way
with all this open frank display
of deep sorrows and dismay
Yes, that would be the day
for which I will forever pray"
That's what you get from watching movies based on Shakespeare plays ;-)
Maastricht

Things to do in Barcelona: Food
| Rating: | ★★★★★ |
| Category: | Other |
These are some of the places we liked best:
La Llavor dels Origens
Original Catalan food which changes with the seasons. There are 5 restaurants in Barcelona and still it's not always easy to get a table here.
But their food is extremely delicious so it's worth waiting for! And a nice extra for any-one who cannot go to Barcelona: there are recipes on the site!

Els Quatre Gats
Very well-known place in the Barri Gotica with brilliant food. Loads of artists used to visit this beautiful bar and the atmosphere is indeed fantastic!
This was one of the best dishes I've ever eaten so check it out: http://www.4gats.com/
Bossborn
A decent place to eat some nice tapas or some other Spanish speciality. Good quality and not too expensive. And very close to our hotel ;-)

A nice modern museum with loads of works from Miró and special exhibits. Well worth a visit if you like Miró.

Museu Etnològic
A small 1970's etno-museum with loads of interesting objects. Ok it's a bit stuffy and it's a mystery to me why they have some of the objects but it's nice for a late afternoon.

Museu Barbier-Mueller
A great collection of pre-Columbian art. A small museum in a beautiful old location. Highlights from most cultures so well worth a visit!

Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
The grand museum of Catalan art. A palace filled with loads and loads of beautiful but mostly unknown works!

For other museums look at the photo-albums. If you plan to visit Barcelona and want to use the metro a lot and also visit many museums/sites the BCN-card is a great idea: http://www.barcelona-card.com/?gclid=CIjEu9O9rKICFYUx3godvzlzQA

Delvaux and Antiquity (KMSKB, 23-1-2010)
| Rating: | ★★★★ |
| Category: | Other |
This specific exhibit shows some great examples of his art even some I haven't seen before.
It's a pity though that the exhibit itself isn't that good: the room is too small and feels rather stuffed. It's a pity that lately they don't seem to make much of an effort at making their exhibits in the KMSKB. We only seem to be paying for the chance to see the artworks themselves which in this case is worth it only if you really like Delvaux.

University Museum (Utrecht, NL, 26-12-2009)

If you want to see and learn a lot about science this is the place to be. It's very diverse and there is information for all levels of education to enjoy. Best thing about this museum is that it doesn't aim at cheap effects like most science museums.
The part I love most is of course the "room of wonders" with all the natural treasures (see pics). Another great thing is their small but beautiful botanic garden. The exhibits are nice too so check it out: http://www.uu.nl/NL/universiteitsmuseum/Pages/default.aspx
