This was a vey ambitious museum. It housed items ranging from neolithic rock art and stone tools to works by modern artists and everything in between. We looked at all five floors of exhibits, floor zero to floor 4. Lots of cool stuff to see. Then we walked along the river and back to the train station. We bought some dinner for later and then rode the train back.
The front windows were painted with Inca iconography
Leave it to museums to design great logos
The lowest level had an exhibit by Namrata Kumar
Her series celebrates strong women
I have to hand it to her!
A stone Celtic Warrior made of granite
More granite
A group of penguins
Siesta time
Something is fishy
A very rustic piece
I like this style
A lilac breaster roller!
Looking out the large windows at the town of Ponteverde
The bride reacts to seeing her groom
Sketches and doodles by an acclaimed hometown violinist
A collection of mustaches
Of various forms
From the late 1800's
No mustache here, in fact no face at all
Very evocative
I loved the mountains in the background
One floor had religious
Galacia!
A bare tree
Put on your happy face
More of the town
I see sea shell art
Another floor had fine furniture
Yet another delightful piece
So many drawers, 200 year old drawers
Polychrome coloration
The lowest level had the oldest stuff
Rock art
Old swords
These symbols once told a story
A huge sacrificial rock bowl
The first picture of the three stooges
A fantastic staircase
Fast forward a few thousand years and the artifacts are much more refined
Walking along the river
It was quite peaceful
My shadow in the water
Across the river
Styling building
Some delightful buildings
That is something to howl about
A mush more modern church
Great windows
Ghost customers?
Stone fenceposts
Back at the train station
Ponteverde sign
Time for the train
Passing over a couple of rivers
Wide river
Back in Santiago de Compostela and searching for a taxi
