07/05/2023 - 10/22/2023

The exhibition "The Human Image: Art, Identities, and Symbolism" is a showcase without borders or epochs that immerses us in a universal theme: how we have represented ourselves. From a modeled skull from 11,000 years ago to contemporary audiovisual works, you will find pieces from different eras, techniques, and materials. Iconic works from the British Museum intertwine with contemporary art from the Collection of the "la Caixa" Foundation and loans from the Museo del Prado. It is a space where diverse cultures and themes merge. Throughout the world, human beings have created representations full of symbolism and beauty, from stylizations to hyperrealism. An exhibition to enjoy and reflect on the ideals of beauty, divinity, and power, which are relevant in our time.
