The extraordinary architectural design of a museum [ENG-ESP]
[ENG]
Greetings, dear friends at Worldmappin—welcome to my blog. Today I’m back in this wonderful community to share with all of you some incredible photos taken at the Science Museum in Valencia. It’s called the Príncipe Felipe Museum, and it’s enormous—plus, it boasts an impressive architectural structure and design. The truth is that during my walk, we happened to pass through that area—it wasn’t our destination—but as soon as I spotted the museum, I was blown away, so I asked my companions to stop so we could admire its beauty and take some photos.
The design caught my eye, as did the crystal-clear, emerald-green water surrounding it. It was a magical moment to see a little duckling swimming peacefully in those calm waters. To be honest, I would have liked to go inside, but there wasn’t enough time—I think closing time was approaching—and besides, the museum is so large that the idea is to enjoy the tour at a leisurely pace. We agreed to come back another day, pay the admission fee, and take our time exploring the four floors of this magnificent museum—but we never did. Between our itinerary and differing opinions, the days went by, and I never got to fulfill my dream; all I was left with were the memories captured in the photos I took outside, which are definitely worth recreating.
The architecture of this museum is quite unique; from a distance, one of the protruding parts looked to me, at first glance, like a whale’s head. Later, while talking to some visitors about the hours and admission, I learned that there are several buildings within the same complex and that the design of the science museum mimics the skeleton of an animal—such as a dinosaur or a marine species, something like a whale. The structure, which resembles a long spine, mimics the color of bones and seems to float amid those turquoise waters—which are not suitable for navigation; their role is purely scenic and decorative.
The crystal-clear water reflects the extraordinary structure of this marvelous science museum. Since it is located within the Arts and Sciences complex, another round structure can also be seen: the Hemisféric, a sphere-shaped building representing a human eye. This site is dominated by simulations of elements of nature—whether marine or human—fully embodying a biomimetic style in its design.
It's a place that definitely catches your eye just by looking at the outside, so you see a lot of people taking pictures and selfies. I can't even imagine how wonderful it would be to take a tour inside.
That wraps up my trip. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. See you next time.
Thank you for reading

Saludos estimados amigos de Worldmappin, bienvenidos a mi blog. Hoy estoy de vuelta en esta hermosa comunidad para compartir con todos ustedes unas fotos increíbles tomadas en el Museo de las Ciencias de Valencia. Su nombre es Príncipe Felipe y es inmenso, además, es dueño de una estructura y diseño arquitectónico impresionante. La verdad es que durante mi paseo, pasamos por esa zona, no era nuestro destino, pero apenas divisé al museo quedé impactada y le pedí a mis acompañantes detenernos para contemplar su belleza y tomar algunas fotos.
Me llamó la atención el diseño, además del agua cristalina verde esmeralda que lo rodea. Fue un momento mágico al ver que un pequeño patito nadaba plácidamente en aquellas aguas tan tranquilas. La verdad, me hubiera gustado entrar, no obstante, no había tiempo, creo que faltaba poco para cerrar, además, el museo es tan grande que la idea es disfrutar del recorrido, con calma. Quedamos en regresar otro día, pagar la entrada y pasar un buen tiempo para explorar los 4 niveles que alberga este grandioso museo, pero no volvimos. Entre el itinerario y las diferentes opiniones, los días pasaron y no logré realizar mi sueño, solo me quedé con el recuerdo de las fotografías exteriores que valen la pena recrear.
La arquitectura de este museo es bastante particular, a los lejos, una de las partes que sobresale se me pareció a primera vista a la cabeza de una ballena. Luego, hablando con algunos visitantes sobre los horarios y la entrada, me enteré que hay varios edificios en un mismo complejo y que el diseño del museo de las ciencias simula el esqueleto de un animal, como un dinosaurio o una especie marina, algo así como una ballena. La estructura que aparenta una extensa columna vertebral, imita al color de los huesos y parece flotar entre aquellas aguas de color turquesa, las cuales no son aptas para la navegación, su papel es netamente paisajística y decorativo.
El agua cristalina permite el reflejo de la extraordinaria estructura de este maravilloso museo de las ciencias. Como está ubicado en el mismo complejo de las Artes y las Ciencias, también se observa otra estructura redonda, se trata del Hemisféric, un edificio en forma de esfera que representa un ojo de origen humano. En este lugar predomina la simulación de partes de la naturaleza, bien sea marina o humana, logrando a cabalidad un estilo biomimético en su diseño.
Es un lugar que definitivamente roba miradas con solo ver su exterior, así que se le puede ver a mucha gente tomando fotografías y selfies. No me quiero imaginar lo maravilloso que sería hacer un recorrido en su interior.
Hasta aquí mi viaje. Espero que lo hayan disfrutado tanto como yo. Hasta la próxima.
Gracias por leer
