Exhibition based on the Abelard Fàbregas collection of the Empordà Museum and the Josep Narro collection on the MUME. 

Within the context of the recovery of the artistic heritage of the Republican exile, this exhibition highlights two collections belonging to the Museum of the Empordà and the MUME. 

The Fàbrega collection of the Museum of the Empordà collects works by various authors, such as Josep Bartolí, Francesc Domingo, Roser Bru, Josep Narro, Francesc Moreno Capdevila, Pompeu Audivert, Francesc Camps Ribera, Avel·lí Artís Gener, Marcel·lí Porta, Pere Calders, Enric Climent or Carme Cortès. 

On the other hand, the Fund of Josep Narro collects the work of this illustrator made in the French concentration camps between 1939 and 1941. All these artists coincided in Mexico, where they were welcomed by the active asylum policies of the Mexican governments from 1937 to 1945, and lived there after the Spanish War.This joint exhibition between the MUME and the Museum of the Empordà will include a selected synthesis of the two collections, which will be distributed between Figueres and La Jonquera.


The exhibition of the Museum of the Empordà will take place between January 24 and April 5, 2020 and the MUME between February 8 and June 14.
