The municipal delegate of Culture, Susana Rivas, and the director of the Museum of Chiclana, Jesus Romero, have announced today at a press conference the varied offer of temporary exhibitions that have been scheduled at the Museum of Chiclana throughout 2024 and will feature about twenty samples in which will feature painting, sculpture, engraving, tattooing, tattoo, philately, literature, history, photography or comics, among other artistic manifestations.
Susana Rivas explained that the program prepared for the occasion "gives continuity to the work that has been developed in recent years, both in quality and quantity of the exhibition. This year we again have twenty exhibitions that will accommodate and respond to all the demands and all the sensitivities of a citizenry that year after year has been giving us the reason in everything we have been programming, as the number of people visiting the Museum of Chiclana is increasing. So, once again, we face the year with the hope that the offer to please everyone.
For his part, Jesús Romero, pointed out that "we have worked on a broad program in all senses, that is to say, exhibitions that bring together very diverse subjects, so that there is no one who says he is not attracted to any of them... there will be painting, engraving, tattooing, comics, science, literature, history... it is very difficult for someone not to be attracted to or concerned by any of these proposals. And this is very important, because most of the people who visit the temporary exhibitions then visit the permanent ones, it is more than demonstrated that the temporary ones revitalize the permanent ones".
After the inauguration last December of 'Sopirocallaso', an exhibition that will remain open until February 18 and in which the students of the Eqartis workshop pay tribute to Sorolla and Picasso, the first of the exhibitions that will see the light in 2024 is 'Herbarivm.
