  • The City of Arts and Sciences - Valencia, Spain

    After being inundated with comments and calling for more pix from our Spanish trip here are three from the same complex in Valencia. I hope you like them.

    The Concert / Opera Hall- Valencia Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia
    The Palace of Arts has 4 distinct auditoriums for various kinds of stage arts, from classical concerts and operas to theatre plays. Due to its incredible acoustics it is becoming one of the most prestigious opera halls in Europe.

    The Museum of Science Museo de Ciences Principe Felipe
    An enormous long structure with 3 Floors of ultra-interactive science material on topics like electricity, physical laws, lasers, human body, sport sciences, sound, lights, planetarium, and many others. Some stuff is purely fun, other takes good brain work, all of it is fascinating. Unlike in other museums, the rules here are - pull, push, touch, twist. Most of the exhibition is permanent, with a couple of rotating temporary sections.
    Average viewing time: 3 hours


    The IMAX Cinema L'Hemisferic
    L'Hemispheric usually has 5-7 various shows on display, all of educational and/or visually stunning character. This is IMAX 3D cinema and perhaps the most engaging part of the complex for the kids. Everyone lies almost horizontally on the floor and watches the hemispheric screen above them.
    Average viewing time: 1 hour

    ps I think we did rather well taking these considering the many visitors there on the day. Again the Olympus OM-D EM-1 + 12-40 lens played a part capturing these.

    The architecture of these buildings wouldn't be out of place in a science fiction film.
    I find them quite attractive.

      Thanks Pops.

      I wish we had more time when visiting. So many angles and photographic opportunities as this video by John Maaskant demonstrates - it runs for almost 4.1/2 minutes:
