Science can metamorphose areas by rejuvenating them. To celebrate the scientific/technological culture, the Parc de La Ciutadella was crafted. “The parks and gardens also provide Barcelona with a “memory” of its deep structures,” this would include the advances that science provided (Kent 2002: 222). The Parc de La Ciutadella is known for the Museu Martorell. This museum was unprecedented at its time of creation since never before had a public museum been opened and operated. Serving as a representation of the “educational” aspect of the park, the museum generally received praise from all visitors. The museum also allowed historians of science to “look at ‘traditional’ sites of knowledge production at laboratories, observatories, and collections (cabinets and museums)” (Hochadel and Nieto-Galan 2016: 7). Due to the patronage of Francesc Martorell i Pena, who lived from 1822 to 1878, the museum was able to receive enough funds to operate. The building itself is beautifully designed using the neoclassical style by a local architect named Antoni Rovira i Trias. Perhaps this style is fitting since the Greeks were honored for their attention to order and logic, which is precisely what Barcelona was celebrating. “The donation of a selected piece of rock to the Museu Martorell [...] bore testimony to [the donor’s] patriotic zeal and commitment to Barcelona” (Hochadel and Valls 2016: 25). While it originally housed various scientific artifacts, now the museum exclusively exhibits geology collections. � http://collections.ecu.edu/files/original/20/529/Harris_Rachel_Museu_Martorell.m4a fa5faf3b533e36b02c94de5af13453b0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
