Citius-Altius-Fortius |
Miguel Berrocal designed the great mechanical "Citius-Altius-Fortius" for the Barcelona Expo in 1995. It now stands in the grounds of the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. He designed various gifts and souvenirs for the museum shop - Badges, Cuff links, Tie pins, etcetera. We show three of the puzzle ones here. |
