Internationally renowned large-format artwork to visit the Museu Marítim

The Museu Marítim is to host travelling exhibitions of work by some of the most important figures in the history of art. The displays are the result of a deal signed by the Drassanes Reials consortium and the exhibition organiser and promotor Arthemisia-Evolucionarte, with the goal of attracting cultural visits to the city.

The displays will be housed in the large hall at the Museu Marítim de Barcelona, which offers over 1,700 m2 of exhibition space.

The first exhibition,Escher’, opens on 29 April and offers a retrospective of the Dutch artist Maurits Cornelis Escher. The display features over 200 works by the visionary maestro of impossible worlds, creator of impressive optical illusions.

The initiative clearly backs cultural tourism and is supported by Barcelona City Council and Barcelona Provincial Council, the institution which owns the Consorci de les Drassanes Reials and the Museu Marítim de Barcelona.

Arthemisia is a leading Italian company in the production and organisation of large art exhibitions at an international level. The company has organised over 500 exhibitions to date, including displays in the last few years devoted to Van Gogh, Chagall and Klimt.
