El Mercat de Colom es un edificio de estilo modernista de la ciudad de Valencia situado en el barrio del Pla del Remei, rehabilitado en 2003 y hoy dotado de tiendas y restaurantes de lujo. Se construyó para satisfacer la demanda del Eixample burgués de Valencia, en pleno auge en 1914, cuando lo concibió el arquitecto Francesc Mora i Berenguer y en 1916, cuando fue inaugurado. Es un extraordinario ejemplo de arquitectura modernista e historicista en la tradición constructiva valenciana, el más gaudiniano de la ciudad, y monumento histórico-artístico desde 1983.
The Mercat de Colom is a modernist-style building in the city of Valencia located in the Pla del Remei district, renovated in 2003 and now equipped with luxury shops and restaurants.

The Wadsworth Atheneum is an art museum located in Hartford, Connecticut. The Wadsworth is noted for its collections of European Baroque art, French and American Impressionist paintings, Hudson River School landscapes, modernist masterpieces and contemporary works, as well as collections of early American furniture and decorative arts.
Founded in 1842 and opened in 1844, it is the oldest continually operating public art museum in the United States.

The Wadsworth, as it is most commonly known, was constructed on the site of the family home of Daniel Wadsworth in the heart of downtown Hartford. Its architects were Alexander Jackson Davis and Ithiel Town, who designed the "castle" that is the Atheneum's oldest building. Construction began in 1842 after the museum was incorporated on June 1 of that year. The museum opened on July 31, 1844 and has operated continuously since then. 77
