The Metamorphoses of Guernica

 The Metamorphoses of Guernica offers a unique immersion into the heart of one of the major masterpieces of the 20th century. This experience traces the history of Pablo Picasso's monumental painting, from its commission for the 1937 International Exhibition in Paris to its status as an icon and symbol of peace. The experience invites viewers to journey through a series of significant moments and places: the Spanish Republican Pavilion, where the work was first revealed to the public; the ruins of the Basque town of Gernika after the bombing that inspired the painting; the Parisian studio of the Grands-Augustins, where the work was created; and finally the various locations the canvas travelled to before its permanent installation at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid.

The narrative is carried by the voices of two privileged witnesses: that of the writer Juan Larrea, a member of the Spanish Republican delegation, and that of Dora Maar, a surrealist artist and the artist's companion, whose antifascist commitment was decisive in the birth of this political work and who documented the genesis of the work through a series of photographs.
