The Brandhorst Museum in Munich, Germany (or as the locals call it, Museum Brandhorst) is a classic case of art on art. The two-story building is covered in over 36,000 ceramic tiles of different colors, which makes it just as beautiful as the art it houses.

Speaking of the insides, there are over 200 exhibits including 100 works from Andy Warhol. So that’s cool.

If you find yourself in Germany, do your art-loving self a favor and check out the Brandhorst.

World’s Most Beautiful Museums (Travel + Leisure)

That’s it for this week. Safe travels!

The Louvre in Paris, France is full of beauty inside and out. It’s located an easy walk from the Eiffel Tower and numerous cafes, but you may want to save those for another day — the Louvre is a full day (at least) of art and history.

Inside you’ll find some of the best known art EVER. The Mona Lisa is there (please don’t bring up The Da Vinci Code), as is the armless beauty of Venus de Milo.

The building that houses the Louvre was built in the 12th century, and the museum has been there since 1793. It’s a work of art in its own right.

There are plenty of family activities, including guided tours, workshops and storytellers. There are even special deals and activities for visitors under the age of 30 (anyone older and you can’t trust them!).

The Louvre is a must-see on any trip to France. Take the kids, they’ll thank you.

Shopping!

La Rambla in Barcelona will MEAT all your needs.

Get it? Meat? You can use that.

La Rambla is the name of a street in Barcelona that is surrounded by a tree-lined pedestrian mall. It’s actually a series of smaller streets (Las Ramblas) that run together to become La Rambla. The streets are Rambla de Canaletes, the Rambla dels Estudis, the Rambla de Sant Josep, the Rambla dels Caputxins, and the Rambla de Santa Monica.

The area is filled with museums, galleries, street markets the Liceu Opera House and the famous Font de Canaletes. That’s “font” as in fountain, and not Comic Sans.

The area is popular and crowded with tourists and locals alike. It’s a good time.

This is a Wordless Wednesday entry with a bunch of words in it.
