Presentation and self-guided visit to Picasso Cyprus: Encounters with the Ceramics of the Mediterranean at the Museu Picasso

Let’s discover the new exhibition at the Museu Picasso with a presentation by Mariona Tió, head of exhibitions at the museum, followed by a self-guided visit to continue with the experience in the rooms.

On the occasion of the opening of Picasso Cyprus: Encounters with the Ceramics of the Mediterranean, the Museu Picasso invites the MACBA Friends to a presentation session and a self-guided visit to the exhibition.

The display starts out from Picasso’s relationship with Cypriot antiquities, which the artist discovered through European museum collections and specialist publications of his day. The visit offers a reflection on how Picasso assimilated formal and symbolic features of the ancient art of Cyprus, paying special attention to the hybridisation of styles and the distinctively expressive nature of these pieces.

The exhibition presents works from museums and collections around Europe, with a significant presence from the collections of the Museu Picasso Barcelona and the Department of Antiquities in Cyprus.

MACBA Thirty

We celebrate Year Thirty of an infinite MACBA that projects the future as a space for revision and possibility: of taking up what was left unfinished, updating what needs it and projecting anew everything that can still be transformed.
