The main entrance with its heavy keystone arch, the stone carvings inside to the right in the Sala Güell, and the sculptures along the stairway are all elegant and graceful Gothic details worth stopping for.

Court order handed down for removal of the name, images and works of Dalí from the Reial Cercle Artístic de Barcelona, known as the "Dalí museum" in this city.

In a decision dated 12 June 2012, the Commercial Court no. 3 of Barcelona ordered the company Faber Gòtic, S.L. (managed by Juan Javier Bofill) to remove from the Reial Cercle Artístic de Barcelona located beside Barcelona Cathedral the name Dalí, photos of the artist and works said to belong to the collection of sculptures he made for Isidro Clot (known as the “Clot Collection”).

The court decision likewise imposed a penalty on Faber Gòtic for acts of unfair competition by having created the impression that the exhibition had the backing of Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, on which count Faber Gòtic was ordered to pay an indemnity.

The Forum Building also known as Museu Blau de les Ciències Naturals

Page 24: A weekend walk in Barcelona26

The Forum Building also known as Museu Blau de les Ciències Naturals, is an architectural landmark in Barcelona designed by the Swiss architects Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron (Herzog & de Meuron),.The building is triangular in shape, measuring 180 metres on each side and 25 metres in height, located within the triangle formed by Diagonal Avenue, Rambla de Prim and the Ronda Litoral.

Page 26: A weekend walk in Barcelona26

The Forum was the symbol of the controversial 2004 Universal Forum of Cultures and the serious flaws that arose during its construction were widely covered in both the Spanish national and foreign press. The building has become a political bone of contention, with the opposition parties in both Barcelona Council and the Parliament of Catalonia demanding to know why it cost so much (of the order of US $144 m).

In contrast to the surrounding towers, the triangular building extends horizontally, favoring the natural congregation of public uses both internally and outside in the neighboring square

The building has an auditorium with a seating capacity of 3,200 and an exhibition hall covering nearly 5,000 square metres.

The unusual shapes, geometry and materials used, have an intriguing and inviting effect and the mystical mix of colors cause a great deal of comfort – a powerful yet calm place. Apparently, this project left more than a wound in the city’s budget.
