"Barcelona’s design museum, which resembles a grey grasshopper perched above a pool of water, is located in the city’s 22@ district—an urban renewal transforming abandoned factories into slick apartments and tech hubs. Four floors are devoted to permanent exhibitions, covering graphic design, fashion, decorative and household pieces—all with a Catalan or Spanish slant. One highlight: the posters on the fourth floor focusing on graphic design in Spain, including those promoting Spanish tourism in the 1960s, plus early advertisements for FC Barcelona soccer club and the Spanish F1 Grand Prix." - Gemma Askham
