    Interesting and quirky. Lots of very weird art…read more You should visit. €zero on Sunday afternoon

    Originally, I wasn't going to visit Pompidou, but it was Sunday and the lesser known museums that…read moreI'd planned on visiting were closed and Pompidou was nearby as with most of the museums. At the time of my visit, there was a choice of the permanent exhibit (7€, seniors 65+ 4€) and for an added fee you could view the temporary exhibit; just the permanent please. With admission, you get an easy-to-use audio guide to explain many, but not all the works that have the theme of time. Otherwise, most of the exhibits have cards that explain the art. For example, one section was about leisure time, another was about the aged which was thought provoking (elderly are less productive, more isolated). In general, the exhibits had a message (ie. breaking gender boundaries or how leisure time provided rest or promoted creativity) that required me to slow down and think about how time applies to me. Thinking the Pompidou had paintings from Picasso and Miró, I was surprised to find only one sculpture from Picasso, two paintings by Miró, and one painting by Matisse. While there was an exhibit where ground spices were hanging from pantyhose-like material and the audio guide said it invites you to smell the spices, I discovered the "invite" was rhetorical when security told me I was too close to the exhibit.

    This is included on the Granadatur card, suggested by Rick Steves, as a combo deal that gets you an…read moreentry time into the Alhambra Palace, plus admission to a a bunch of monasteries, cathedrals and the like. Plus six tickets to ride the red buses that wind up the hills and around the city on loop routes. Take your bus rides! Pony up the 1.40 if you don't have the passes. The views are amazing, especially at sunset. The buses themselves are very small, to wind through narrow roads laid out in the Middle Ages (or earlier). I'd been to cathedrals and the like in Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo and Seville. And when you've seen eight of em, the modern museum sounds like a good break. I took the C5 bus and walked about 10 minutes to the museum, which is a large modern building and impossible to miss. Much to my surprise, I had the place to myself. There are four large interactive galleries on the history and culture of the area. The interactive part is Nintendo Wii style, but a little buggy. A staff member came with me to get me going. You stand on the red dots and point at topics and characters to get their stories. English is an option. There are large walls with panoramic displays and related physical exhibits in front of them. Glass cases with related objects are nearby. The first two floors each have two of these permanent interactive galleries. The top floor has temporary exhibits. It's not the Guggenheim or MOMA, but it's good, and the walk back to the center of town along the canal shows hows the locals live,
