Yes, we’re still on Casa Milà.  Yet another phase of our visit.

This time, the apartment exhibition.  A period apartment has been recreated in part of the building; not necessarily an attempt to replicate the actual furnishings that would have been there in the early 20th Century, just to recreate the look and style of the age.  I imagine many or all of the items on display will be genuine antiques from the period.

The odd thing for me was that the inside of the apartment looked old fashioned but the outside of the building looked modern.  Even today the architecture of Casa Milà is ahead of both its time and our time.  It is only when you tour a period apartment like this that you are reminded how old the building is.
