MNAC, Picasso, Thyssen, Reina Sofía, Guggenheim, Tate, MoMA, Van Gogh, Munch… All these museums have in common that the gifts they sell are designed in Barcelona. With a history spanning more than 30 years, Ming Productions is the company that designs many of the notebooks, magnets, stuffed animals, and mugs found in their stores. With factories in Badalona, ​​Montgat, and Dallas (United States), the company is the result of all the ideas that Benjamín Villa, its CEO and founder, could have.

With the Georges Pompidou Centre in Paris, which opened in 1977, architects Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers made history when they were still quite young and unknown for their then radical vision of a museum as a container high-tech and flexible, where all spaces are susceptible to transformation. And, above all, because they turned conventions on their head and placed infrastructures that are usually hidden, such as pipes and escalators, on the façade and made them look good by painting them in bright colours.
