The exhibition "An eye in the sky" arrives in Ibiza
Eivissa
04/08/2017
This new travelling exhibition will open its doors today, Friday 4 August, as scheduled. This is the first time in Ibiza that visitors can see the 16 panels, displaying photographs and detailed explanatory texts, that comprise the exhibition. The exhibition, which started on 29 May at the Port of Palma and which has since visited the ports of Alcudia and Mahon with great success, can now be found at the Port of Ibiza, where it will remain until 29 August. The exhibition is located at Club Náutico de Ibiza and is open from 9 am to 9 pm.
The exhibition is a visual testimony that demonstrates the strategic importance of the Balearic ports of general interest during World War II, as observed in detail by the intelligence services of both sides of the conflict.
The exhibition that the APB offers its visitors has been made possible thanks to a study undertaken by the Geography Department of the University of the Balearic Islands, which compiled photographic material taken between 1941 and 1945 by the British and the North American air force.
The arrival of the exhibition was largely timed to coincide with the Festes de la Terra, Ibiza's annual festival, to provide another attraction for the great influx of visitors that will no doubt be welcomed at the Port of Ibiza over the course of the popular celebration.
The exhibition will end its journey at the Port of la Savina, where it will be located at the Harbour Station from 4 to 30 September.
