This year, the day is being devoted to the role museums can play as a <strong>bridge between<\/strong> <strong>cultures.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Government of Catalonia\u2019s Department of Culture is proposing an activity in common for the Catalan museums under the name \u201cDiscover a Jewel of the Museum\u201d, which consists in highlighting a piece of special interest that is suited to the theme proposed by the ICOM. The Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation aims to take part in this initiative in a virtual way with the following work:<\/p>\n<p><strong>NAME<\/strong>: Illustration for the first part of the English-language edition of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, published by Random House in 1946. It comes from chapter XVIII of The Life and Achievements of the Renowned Don Quixote de la Mancha.<\/p>\n<p>INVENTORY NO.: 3606<br \/>\nAUTHOR: Salvador Dal\u00ed<br \/>\nMEASUREMENTS: 28.7 x 31.4 cm<br \/>\nCHRONOLOGY: 1945<br \/>\nTECHNIQUE: water colours and India ink on paper<br \/>\nPROVENANCE: the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation collection<\/p>\n<p>With his many journeys to and stays in Madrid, Paris and New York, Salvador Dal\u00ed allowed his native Empord\u00e0 to be permeated by the ideas, literary traditions, scientific and artistic discoveries that he brought into work alongside features from the more local setting: to make meetings with artists more entertaining, he would invite Catalan folk dance bands for <em>sardanas<\/em> and the gypsy community to organise <em>tablaos<\/em>. Dal\u00ed always took an integrating stance in the face of cultural and artistic diversity, thereby getting even styles considered to be in opposition to one another to live alongside one another in perfect harmony in his work. In this water colour, Dal\u00ed places a figure wearing the typical Catalan red beret in a sequence from <em>Don Quixote<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Admirers of Dal\u00ed\u2019s work are of widely varying origins and beliefs. We would like to think that the Dal\u00ed museums help to create spaces for physical and virtual encounters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each year since 1977, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has been proposing a subject upon which to reflect, and it invites museum professionals to approach the public and increase their awareness of the challenges the museum has to face through being an institution in the service of society and of its development.
