At an Art Museum in Spain
Buying tickets, asking about discounts, photos and rooms, and talking about the art in a Spanish museum.
Big Spanish museums like the Prado, the Reina Sofía or the Thyssen have student discounts and free entry in the last hours of the day, which means long queues. Bags go to the 'consigna', photos are often not allowed, and the 'vigilantes' in each 'sala' will tell you off politely. The cards follow two friends queuing, buying tickets and walking round the rooms.
