Malaysian visual anthropologist Weiyan Low is interested in the intersection of technology and everyday materialism. In his fieldwork, Low collaborated with Rumah Kosong, a local film collective, on a documentary about the Kelantan Match Factory. Founded in 1933 and staffed by a predominantly female workforce, it is the last functioning match factory in Malaysia. The memories of the workforce paint a story of productive decline and aging that contrasts with, and also fits with, the careful maintenance of the machinery and the bond that the workers feel for their work. The humble matchstick, a functional object evocative of bygone customs that increasingly has fewer users, has become a symbol of its resistance to obsolescence.

The ticket price was cheaper than an official site. There were a lot of artworks by Miro, and the museum was really big with a nice interior. Also they had a special exhibition which was included in the ticket price. I really recommend Foundation Joan Miro!

I went with a friend, we loved the experience. Would recommend going there when you visiting Barcelona.

Tickets were issued via Ctrip in about ten minutes, and the price was the same as on the official website, which was quite convenient. Last year, on my first trip to Barcelona, ​​I prioritized visiting the places I most wanted to see within the limited time, so I skipped Park G&uuml;ell. This year, my cruise ship stopped in Barcelona for a day, so I decided to visit it. Tickets were still available at the entrance, and the ticket check didn&#39;t consider specific times or cruise schedules. For example, when we arrived at noon, the system showed only 3 PM tickets were available, but we were actually allowed in immediately.

Since it was the weekend, there were a lot of tourists, both local and out-of-town, making it very noisy. The ground was also mostly bare earth, and the wind whipped up dust, making for a poor experience. I think skipping it last time was the right decision. If you really want to come, just enter through the main entrance and visit the highlights; you can finish in about half an hour.

This should be a must-see for every tourist visiting Barcelona. It&#39;s about 500 meters from Casa Mil&agrave;, and the package ticket I bought on Ctrip was a great deal. In short, it&#39;s a must-see. A masterpiece of art, a genius of aesthetics...

La Pedrera – Casa Milà

北京蓝冰

Casa Mil&agrave;, located at the corner of Passeig de Gr&agrave;cia and Passeig de Provenca in Barcelona, ​​Spain, was designed and built by Spanish architect Antoni Gaud&iacute; between 1906 and 1912.

As Gaud&iacute;&#39;s last private residential project, Casa Mil&agrave; encapsulates the architectural language of his mature period and is a pinnacle of the Art Nouveau style&#39;s curvilinear aesthetic. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open to the public as a museum, it has become a pilgrimage site for architecture enthusiasts and tourists worldwide.

Gaud&iacute; is a paragon of the organic integration of liberalism and modernism. He believed that &quot;straight lines belong to man, curves belong to God,&quot; and the design of Casa Mil&agrave; is entirely inspired by nature, imitating the forms of rocks, waves, and plants. The building&#39;s exterior, known as &quot;La Pedrera&quot; (meaning &quot;quarry&quot;), features an undulating, wave-like facade resembling a natural mountain, devoid of straight lines or right angles, presenting a sense of natural flow. Inside, the curves of the columns and staircases resemble tree trunks and caves, while the ceiling textures mimic leaf veins and ocean waves, conveying a tribute to the vitality of nature from the outside in.

The roof of Casa Mil&agrave; is the most iconic part of Gaud&iacute;&#39;s entire architectural work: 30 oddly shaped chimneys and vents exist like sculptures, some resembling warriors, others like monsters (I personally feel they look like some masks from Sanxingdui), perfectly combining functionality (smoke extraction, ventilation) with artistry. The undulating roof enhances the sculptural feel of the building, and standing on it offers a panoramic view of Barcelona.

The entrance is small, in the city center. Be sure to get the audio guide first. Each painting has a story. I spent three hours looking at it carefully! You can walk to Casa Mil&agrave; and see the scenery of Barcelona along the way! It&#39;s a great time!
