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.

This installation puts painting robots to shame

In the courtyard of London's Victoria & Albert Museum stands the Elytra Filament Pavilion , a massive glass and carbon fiber canopy fabricated by robots. It is inspired by the fibrous structures of flying beetles and will be open until November in the John Madejski Garden. The futuristic shelter is the brainchild of experimental architect Achim Menges, along with collaborators Moritz Dörstelmann, Jan Knippers and Thomas Auer. While the structure currently measures 200 square meters in size, it will gradually grow bigger overtime, depending on how visitors interact with it.

Anthill Art

Turns out you can make something pretty cool when you pour boiling, liquid metal on top of an anthill. Harsh for the ants, yes, but according to Anthill Art , these insects are "harmful to the environment and their nests are exterminated by the millions in the United States using poisons, gasoline and fire, boiling water, and very rarely molten aluminum."

This pizza box transforms into a weed pipe

If you're using pot on a regular basis, then you probably already know that pizza is one of the best foods to eat when you're stoned. Weed and pizza go hand in hand, that's why the creators of the Push For Pizza app launched a clever box to combine these two together. It's pretty simple. The box has a small detachable cardboard flap, which users can then easily roll into a pipe. There's also a stand in the center of the box, which doubles as the bowl. Currently, there are no plans for mass production, but that could change based on how well the design is received by the public. Isn't it time we start to get some of this stuff in the Philippines?
