Good photo-report =)
But 3 shots (which were made indoors) have wrong white balance, although there're good warm colours (imho, too warm). Anyway, great report =)

//now this museum is one more reason to visit Barcelona :)

Thank you :D Anyway, in this case, the photos are in some way the less: nearly all them are made by my child of 12 years old! (and this one outdoors with the submarine frontal view, without no after touch of any kind, I find very good, isn't it? :D)
You'll be very welcome the day you come :)

What an horrible father I am, saying you that the photos are now the less important in this post.... my child have all the right to beat my head with a plastic hammer because I said this! :D
Oh, yes, those submarines are very cute :)

Cute, isn't it? :)
And both were the first submarines in the world to make so lot of immersions without kill nobody and without srink: it never failed in it and showed that to go under the sea- in all directions and with total authonomy- was possible.
To this, it was the first submarine to have an ecologic motor - no smoke, no contamination but even with Oxygene!-and the first to have an air generator that allowed the crew breath pure air for hours and hours and even puryfying the bad smell of the atmosphere inside (you could fart without to bother your comrades, to say it straight :D)
Sadly, the inventor had the Spanish government against him and had a lot less troubles than help :(
To this, if you look to the helix you will understand it- it was really to slow: the helix was too small but it is easy notice it today but seems that not so easy in those days.

It has a lovely organic form, and looks very Jules Verne. :-)

The features are truly impressive; he must have been a genius.
