Info
The exhibition Secrets of the Alhambra offers an immersive stroll through the palace of the Nasrid sultans in the 14th century. At the Institut du monde arabe, works of art and reconstructions invite visitors to explore a complex whose gardens, inscriptions and decoration have changed over the centuries.
The Fountain of the Lions is one of the starting points for the exhibition. A replica is accompanied by a range of scholarly interpretations exploring its form, how it worked and its significance in the time 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 principles carry across different media. Visitors can read and listen to the inscriptions, while immersive displays restore a sense of the role of light and colour.
Beyond the refined decoration, the exhibition also recalls 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.
