The exhibition explores Anglada-Camarasa´s interest in Japanese art, which was shaped during his years in Paris. This interest is evident in his collection of Japanese prints and books, which will be displayed in relation to his work.

On the occasion of the donation of Victor Prouvé´s engraving tools by his heirs, the École de Nancy Museum aims to evoke the various engraving techniques that the artist used throughout his career. This dossier-exhibition brings together tools, plates and completed print runs to help us discover the artist´s creative process through his portraits, landscapes and scenes of local customs and manners.

The exhibition "The Nature of Art Nouveau"  reveals the role that nature had in the Art Nouveau and how much the nature was the source of inspiration for the artists at the turn of 19th to 20th century.
The exhibition is in three parts:

·    Eye of an Era examines artists´ fascination for nature, with scientific discoveries in the spheres of botany, zoology and oceanography, as well as developing evolutionary theory, and technical inventions such as the microscope, photography and film.

·    Nature´s Studio shows artistic experiments using natural and artificial materials as well as fresh techniques for creating new forms inspired by nature: lines, ornaments and structures, motifs and symbols.

·    The final section, Artificial landscapes, illustrates Art Nouveau interpretations of the seasons and natural elements: spring, earth, water, air, light, fire.

"The Nature of Art Nouveau" Organised by the Réseau Art Nouveau Network in the framework of the European project "Art Nouveau & Ecology" (2010-2015) and  supported by the Culture 2007-2013 programme of the European Commission.

The exhibition comprises two identical concurrent exhibitions.

"The Palace of Craftsmen" is an exhibition of photographs of the Palau Güell taken by the photographer Ramon Manent that highlight, as if through a magnifying glass, the small great masterpieces complementing the architecture of this building that cannot always be found by visitors. The exhibition takes a creative approach and is accompanied by a unique and very revealing exhibition route prepared by curator Raquel Lacuesta.

The exhibition explores intellectual constellations and traditions in science, philosophy and art in the late Habsurg Monarchy, demonstrating a network of connections within an entire cultural region. The show illustrates the continuities and unique characteristics of art in Austria-Hungary.

The exhibition aims to examine through a selection of 80 masterpieces the origins and evolution of Divisionism through the eyes of its main protagonists, among which included Giovanni Segantini, Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, Giaccomo Balla, Angelo Morbelli, Umberto Boccioni, Gino Severini and Carlo Carrà. These artists influenced the renewal of Italian art between the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the emergence of Futurism.

The exhibition has been organised in collaboration with MART (Museo di arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto.

As of March, the Casa Batlló is offering dramatised tours so that the whole family, both young and old, can enjoy and discover all the hidden corners and secrets of this wonderful work by Antoni Gaudí. The tours are guided by the "architect himself", as performed by an experienced actor embodying the Catalan genius at the time of his professional peak and splendour.

The dramatised tours take place on two Saturdays per month (12/19 March, 9/16 April and 14/21 May during its launch phase) with two tours per day, at 4pm and 6pm.

The tours last one hour and are offered in Spanish and English, with the later addition of Catalan.

The Museum of Catalan Modernisme of Barcelona is organising the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the artist Ramon Casas i Carbó (1866 - 1932). The commemorative event includes a series of activities and exhibitions, including a large retrospective exhibition of this distinguished Barcelona painter that will fill much of the exhibition space with many of his popular works and others that have almost never been seen before, helping to provide an overview of Ramon Casas´s excellent work.

On the occasion of the centenary of the death of the artist, the Museu Nacional and the Museu d´Art Jaume Morera are dedicating a solo exhibition to Xavier Gosé, one of the most international Catalan artists of the early 20th century.

Gosé´s work swings between Modernisme and Art Déco, inspired by the daily life of concert cafés, midinettes (seamstresses), prostitutes, the snobs and flâneurs of the boulevards, horse races and sportsmen. His refined and elegant hand captured the fashions and silhouettes of the finest French fashion houses such as Poiret, Worth, Paquin, Redfern, Doucet and Vionnet, and influenced geometric Cubism, Persian inspiration and Russian ballets.

Featuring over 150 works, the exhibition takes visitors on a varied and multifaceted journey that recreates the elegant, precious and sensual tastes of the time through the creations of Alphonse Mucha.

Travelling exhibition.

"Alphonse Mucha: In Quest of Beauty" explores the work of the artist, around the theme of beauty - the core principle underlying his artistic philosophy. The show will include over 60 works drawn primarily from the collection of the Mucha Trust, focusing on drawings, paintings, photographs and iconic posters, such as Gismonda, Mucha´s first poster designed for the actress Sarah Bernhardt.
Like artists of the British Arts and Crafts movement, it was Mucha´s belief that beautiful works of art should improve the quality of people's lives.
