Picasso at the Cyprus Museum
Exhibition Design
The exhibition, “Picasso at the Cyprus Museum. Works in Clay”, organized by the Department of Antiquities, as part of the Picasso Mediterranée programme and led by the National Picasso Museum in Paris, presents a small but representative part of Picasso’s ceramic creations, with original and unique works. At the same time, the exhibition includes Cypriot antiquities, grouped in such a way as to highlight specific themes, shapes and motifs of antiquity, whose echoes archaeologists discern in Picasso’s works. The visitor is invited to reflect on and sense possible points of encounter and dialogue, but also common characteristics and traits, many of which could have developed randomly.
The exhibition was organized under the supervision of Dr. Despina Pilides, Curator of Antiquities, within the framework of the program Picasso Méditerranée 2017-2019.
The exhibition took place between June- September 2019
