Let's continue with the current exhibition at the "Museo del Objeto del Objeto". For this exhibit, they chose one or more words for each letter of the alphabet, and then displayed objects related to those words.
M is for "música" (music)
Different means of mechanically reproducing music through the decades
N is for "negocio" (business)
Memorabilia from the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City
P is for "plancha" (iron) (Not the metal, but the household appliance)
Q is for "quirófano" (operating room) (That's a word I didn't know.)
S is for "sabores" (flavors)
Cans of food and tins of spices long past their expiration date, I am sure.
Antique cookbooks
T is for "teléfono" (telephone)
U is for "utensilio" (utensil)
V is for "vidrio" (glass)
W is for "watt" (The only words in Spanish that begin with "w" are some words taken from other languages.)
"Demand General Electric lightbulbs."
X is for "XL" (Extra large) (X is another problematic letter. I guess they didn't have any xylophones in their collection.)
I suspect that these enormous objects might have been used as decorations or advertising for businesses.
Y is for "yo" (I)
I can see myself in the mirror.
Z is for "zapato" (shoe)
A variety of shoe shine boxes
It was one of the most entertaining exhibits that "Museo del Objeto del Objeto" has put on.
