The Golden Age of Travel neatly overlaps with the reign of the Emperor Meiji, which began in 1868 with the overthrow of a feudal order that had kept Japan secluded from the outside world for more than 200 years.

This volume celebrates the 10th anniversary of Museo Jumex, Mexico City’s most important contemporary art museum, and its unique collection.
Located in the vibrant Polanco neighborhood of Mexico City, Museo Jumex opened its doors to the public in 2013 as a one-of-a-kind museum devoted to the production and discussion of contemporary art.
Founded by Eugenio López Alonso, a pioneer in the realm of contemporary art collecting in Mexico, and designed by Sir David Chipperfield, 2023 winner of the Pritzker Architecture award, Museo Jumex has achieved international recognition for its dual mission of bringing works of renowned international artists to Mexico for the first time and elevating the work of today’s Mexican and Latin American artists.
Candy es un destilado de la cocina dulce creada en los restaurantes de elBarri a largo de toda una década (2011-2021). La última fase de su confección coincidió con la clausura de elBarri: ese irrepetible parque de atracciones gastronómico del que formaban parte Tickets, Bodega 1900, Hoja Santa, Pakta y Enigma. Para Albert Adrià y David Gil ―alma mater y jefe de pastelería de elBarri, respectivamente―, este libro representa un alto en mitad de sus carreras, una pausa que ha traído consigo un bien de incalculable valor: la oportunidad de volver la vista atrás, de evaluar los éxitos alcanzados y replantearse las próximas metas.
