Soc Assurbanipal

The exhibition Soc Assurbanipal explores the history and civilisation of Assyria through a selection of historical pieces.

This exhibition offers a detailed look at one of the most prominent empires of antiquity through a route across several rooms housing historical objects, reliefs and material testimonies from that era. Visitors can examine the pieces on display up close in order to better understand the political organisation, culture and legacy of Assurbanipal, king of Assyria, placed in context by the exhibition's curator.

CaixaForum Barcelona, a cultural centre located in the city, hosts this proposal, conceived both for enthusiasts of ancient history and for curious visitors interested in the civilisations of the Near East. The layout allows for an unhurried visit through the various thematic areas that make up the exhibition route, enabling the public to delve into the key aspects of this historical period during the season.
