Do you know where the things we consume every day come from? Do you know how they’re made or done, and by whom? How is the copper wire that brings electricity into our homes manufactured? How does water reach our taps? Where does the cement used to build your home come from? How about the clothes you wear and the spaghetti you eat? Six museums in the counties of Barcelona explain the inner workings of everyday things. Is your curiosity piqued??
