“Art from Budapest”, in the streets of Moll de la Fusta

During the month of October, the Moll de la Fusta district will cease to be dedicated exclusively to boats and a quiet stroll around the area will be transformed into a tour of a giant open-air museum.

The reason behind this is the exhibition titled Art from Budapest, which allows viewers to contemplate twenty-six replicas of some of the most significant pieces from museum collections in the Hungarian capital. The pieces on display are large format replicas (up to 3mx3m) which have been reproduced using HP Latex digital printing technology, a technology developed by engineers from the HP International Centre for research and design in Barcelona.
 

Legends such as Leonardo da Vinci, Velázquez, Goya, Cézanne, Manet and Schiele will be on display beside renowned Hungarian masters such as Ferenczy, Kondor, Bencúr and Bogdany.
 

The collection comes from the Budapest Fine Arts Museum and the Hungarian National Gallery, organisations which fused in 2012 after 55 years of separation, and this initiative is an attempt to acquaint the public with their extensive artistic heritage.
 

On the 3rd of November the exhibition will leave Barcelona to visit Madrid, thereafter continuing on to Frankfurt.
