Barcelona has the world's most elegant cannabis museum


In the heart of Barcelona's Ciutat Vella ("old city") sits the world's most beautiful marijuana museum. It's a 15th-century palace acquired in 2002 by Dutch entrepreneur Ben Dronkers, who spent the next ten years renovating the mansion. The Hash, Marihuana Cáñamo & Hemp Museum opened its doors to public in 2012, and weed aficionados can dive into a huge collection of artifacts related to cannabis cultivation and utilization. 

There are paintings, sculptures, photographs and posters for art lovers; while science enthusiasts can explore the room that holds one of the world's largest collections of medicinal cannabis bottles, apothecary kits and prescription vials. The museum also exhibits antique smoking pipes, pre-war machinery once used to process hemp, and other pot-related paraphernalia. 







For everyone with a trip booked to Catalonia, this museum is a must-see.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
