We’ve walked past this building several times so you’ve probably noticed it here-and-there, BUT on this day we actually went through it. They have a lot of great art there! I got toooo many pictures (as usual), so I’ll break this into two posts just to keep things manageable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When In Rome<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
First stop the Roman wing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Many of these art pieces are actually murals from Roman temples in Spain (I think). They have a quite labor intensive and chemistry-based process to peel these murals off of the surfaces they were originally painted on, mostly church\/temple walls. They actually take the peeled mural artwork and reapply it like wallpaper onto an exactly identically shaped surface. Therefore they have a ton of side chapels of various sizes, and walls with random columns interspersed through the exhibit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think some of these murals are over 1500 years old! In addition I think some of them are Romanesque with an original Spanish influence. Spain moved towards Spanish Gothic in the medieval times. Yet, before that early Romanesque pieces were common in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I’m writing this we’re actually in Rome. Just down the street from the Coliseum in fact! It feels a bit strange to be in Rome while I’m writing a blog post about an adventure last month in Barcelona about Roman art \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n
