M.C. ESCHER

Description

Let yourself be carried away by the unrivalled genius of Maurits Cornelis Escher, one of the world’s most admired graphic artists. Famous for his optical illusions and impossible constructions such as Up and Down & Relativity, Escher turned the rules of perspective and perception on their head. But his art doesn’t stop there: discover his more realistic creations, inspired by the beauty of the Italian landscape. Combining mystery, imagination and incredible technique, this experience is an invitation to see the world differently.

In addition to the 100 works by Escher on display, the exhibition includes scientific experiments, interactive spaces and educational resources to help you understand the impossible perspectives, disturbing images and seemingly irreconcilable worlds that Escher combined to create a unique artistic dimension. Follow a path marked out by the symbol of a magnifying glass!

These special installations simulate Escher’s hypnotic environments, such as the ‘Relativity Installation’ which reverses normal size and scale, the ‘Mirror Installation’ where you can see your own reflection repeated seemingly ad infinitum, the ‘Optical Installation’ and the ‘Impossible Selfie Station’, inspired by one of Escher’s most famous works.

It’s a magnificent journey of discovery in a remarkable heritage site, on your own, with friends and family!
