EXHIBITIONS
The primary aim of these exhibitions is to allow the general public, but also and especially young people and children, to discover art, its history, and its appeal through a design that meets their expectations. Unfortunately, too many exhibitions are conceived without considering children. The permanent exhibition, designed entirely for children, presents a dual pathway allowing young people to discover the works of Picasso, Matisse, Chagall, Miró, Folon, Braque, Magritte, Dalí, and others. Emphasis is placed on the intrinsic qualities of the works, their creative power, their originality, their message, and their impact. The pathway fulfills an educational role and encourages further exploration through reading, travel, or visits to other exhibitions.
PABLO PICASSO
BEYOND PAINTING
There is a Picasso beyond painting. This rare exhibition explores this little-known aspect of the Master of Malaga's immense output. It unveils an important yet often overlooked facet of Picasso's work: the creative spirit surrounding graphic arts, photography, and text illustration. Picasso held novelty and learning in very high esteem. Initially a painter and draftsman, Picasso undeniably became a master of experimentation, passionate about innovation and formal freedom in all the technical fields he explored throughout his career. Graphic arts, ceramics, photography, and illustration bear witness to these paths of learning that Picasso so enjoyed following.

LEONARDO DA VINCI
INVENTIONS OF A GENIUS
This is one of the world's most important traveling collections! These models, created in Belgium, are accompanied by documents, codices, and reproductions that allow visitors to discover the work of the most famous genius of the Renaissance. Based on the latest historical and scientific knowledge, the design of this exhibition was carried out by a multidisciplinary team. This team is gradually fulfilling the challenge it set for itself: to update and expand the number of reconstructions of Leonardo da Vinci's models in order to deepen our understanding of this Renaissance genius.

An unprecedented dialogue between traditional prints, Impressionist works, animation, and contemporary manga reveals unexpected artistic connections through pieces, all from private collections: prints, pastels, engravings, drawings, original animation cels, and objects. The works presented in Dreams of Japan converse across eras: a landscape by Hokusai resonates with a pastel by Monet and an original Dragon Ball page, revealing a little-known artistic continuity. This innovative approach offers a fresh perspective on works we thought we knew and unveils unsuspected influences between artists separated by two centuries. With Dreams of Japan, visitors discover an invitation to celebrate the encounter between different cultures, a tribute to the power of art as a bridge between knowledge and time.
THE SAMOURAI
The exhibition features numerous objects and prints related to the samurai, including an impressive collection of armor. Under the Tokugawa shogunate, the samurai no longer fought, but they left an immense legacy in the fields of study, culture, and leisure. While their military role had declined, they became the only truly educated and cultured class, authorized and encouraged to pursue a systematic education. The domain schools, or hankō, taught the great Chinese classics, emphasizing morality, hierarchy, filial piety, and respect for authority. This training aimed to mold the samurai into virtuous administrators with exemplary conduct. Calligraphy held an essential place: it was both a discipline of gesture and a spiritual exercise, a symbol of inner mastery and refinement. The samurai also turned to the sciences, including astronomy, medicine, geography, mathematics, and engineering.
