Escher s Universe is based on the life and work of the multifaceted Maurits Cornelis Escher.

Was he an artist, an astronomer, a mathematician, a traveler?

For the first time, we will see in the dome Escher s use of mathematics, astronomy, optics, crystallography and geometry to artistically explain very complex concepts addressed by Cosmology.

This show will take us to the artist s studio where his most iconic works are displayed.

From this intimate and emotional place, we will visit Escher s particular universe and we will be surprised by his unique ability to join Science and Art. We will also explore how Escher s visit to the Alhambra in Spain changed the way he understood universe and had a great impact in his work. Shapes, three dimensional reconstructions, dual worlds, unreal buildings or impossible continuities reveal in this show his continuous search of knowledge.
