Rope-making


A rope is a length of fibres, twisted or braided together to improve strength for pulling and
connecting. It has tensile strength but is too flexible to provide compressive strength (i.e. it can be used for pulling, but not pushing). Rope is thicker and stronger than similarly constructed cord, line, string, and twine.

PABLO


The Museo Picasso Málaga is a museum in Málaga, the city where artist Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born. It opened in 2003 in the Buenavista Palace, and has 285 works donated by members of Picasso's family.
Christine Ruiz-Picasso, widow of the artist's eldest son Paul Ruiz-Picasso, worked with Málaga to help put on the exhibitions Picasso Clásico in 1992 and Picasso, primera mirada, This led in 1996 to rekindling the idea of a major Picasso museum in Málaga.
The collection ranges from early academic studies to cubism to his late re-workings of Old Masters. Many additional pieces are on long-term loan to the museum.
There is also a library and archive including over 800 titles on Picasso, as well as relevant documents and photographs.

360° theaters for its parks and the Swiss Transport Museum in Lucerne, Switzerland, features a
theatre that is a large cylindrical space with an arrangement of screens whose bottom is several
metres above the floor. Panoramic systems that are less than 360° around also exist. For example,
Cinerama used a curved screen and IMAX Dome / OMNIMAX movies are projected on a dome abov
