M.C. ESCHER IN LONDON, A VAST EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO THE FAMOUS DUTCH ARTIST

Master in the use of geometric forms and in the construction of impossible worlds, internationally renowned artist, among the most appreciated of the 20th century.

ROOMS

Infinity Room

Enter the mirror room to observe your reflection under myriads of angles, like the famous painting by M.C. Escher called Profondeur.
Room 1

Relativity Room

Depending on where you sit in the room, you will see yourself very small or very large. The effect is even more effective if you go there with another person and place yourself in different corners.
Room 2

Interactive Print Gallery

This lithograph symbolizes the intersection of art and mathematics. After long attempts in trying to defy the laws of perspective by drawing an infinitely repeating image, M.C. Escher decided to leave the central part of the drawing empty, and finished the work in 1956. Fifty years later, a team of mathematicians headed by Hendrik Lenstra managed to finish the drawing after several months of research. Come discover the secrets of this iconic print!
Room 3
