The exhibition Secrets of the Alhambra offers an immersive journey through the palace of the Nasrid sultans in the 14th century. At the Institut du monde arabe, artworks and reconstructions invite visitors to explore a complex whose gardens, inscriptions and decoration have changed over the centuries.
The Fountain of the Lions provides one of the starting points for the visit. A replica is accompanied by various scholarly theories that shed light on its form, operation and meaning during the reign of Muhammad V. Water emerges both as an essential resource for palace life and as an element of its aesthetic design.
The exhibition continues with the geometric patterns, colours and texts that cover the walls. Ceramics, silks, manuscripts and woodwork show how these design principles carry over from one medium to another. Visitors can read and listen to the inscriptions, while immersive installations restore a sense of the light and rich colours of the interiors.
Beyond the refined decoration, the exhibition also explores the fortress, conflicts and cultural exchanges that shaped Nasrid history. Court festivities and gardens round out this exploration of the palace as a place of power, creativity and everyday life.
