The Quixote Iconographic Museum opened doors on November 6, 1987 on account of Eulalio Ferrer Rodriguez's generous donation - throughout his life, he built the world's largest and most valuable art collection regarding the ingenious gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. The artwork comprising the Quixote Iconographic Museum is one of a kind. It includes painting, sculpture, engraving, and fine ceramic pieces; small and large monumental works. Most of them made by Mexican and Spanish artists. Among the most important we find Francisco Corzas, Carlos Merida, Jose Chavez Morado, Rufino Tamayo, Rafael Coronel, Jose Luis Cuevas, Manuel Felguerez, Federico Silva, Antonio Quiros, Alberto Gironella, Armandino Pruneda, Luis Nishizawa, Pedro Coronel, Antonio Rodriguez Luna, Gabriel Flores, Federico Silva, Victor Gutierrez, Leonardo Nierman, Sebastian, and many others.
'Outrageously addictive' -- Stephen Fry Eaton's Modern Ready Reckoner revives the curiosities of old, mixing it with the delights and complexities of the 21st Century. A nostalgic gift book for the modern trivia-loving brainiac in your life, Eaton's Modern Ready Reckoner contains information on everything and anything, from digital algorithms, to weights and measures; SpaceX to interest rates; monarchs, presidents and rap stars. But not only that, it includes out-of-this world trivia as we head into the age of the Large Hadron Collider, of stem cell therapy, Bitcoin, and Netflix; of vaping, emojis and the hashtag; as well as updates on Reckoner classics from days of yore - including metric and imperial conversions; sunrise and sunset times across the world; and, perhaps more usefully, how to tell the height of a tree. Compiled by quiz-buff and self-confessed 'collector of curiosities' Thomas Eaton, Eaton's Modern Ready Reckoner is a wonderful revival of a forgotten treasure trove of facts, figures and trivial delights!
