The exhibition entitled "Kraków 1900" presents the story of the city at the turn of the 20th century, a period known as Kraków's Belle Époque.

The National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC) , in collaboration with the Nagasaki Prefectural Art Museum and "Kobe Shimbun" newspaper, is staging an exhibition entitled "Barcelona. City of Artistic Miracles. The Essence of Modern Catalan Art from Modernisme to the Avant-garde", which will be seen in five museums and galleries in Japan and includes some 150 works from major Spanish museums and collections, 60 of which belong to the MNAC collection.

The exhibition sets out to explain the major changes in the city beginning in the second half of the 19th century and continuing into the next century as shown through the works of artists such as Ramon Casas, Santiago Rusiñol, Isidre Nonell, Joaquim Mir, Ricard Canals, Antoni Gaudí, Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Maria Jujol, Gaspar Homar, Juli González, Joaquim Torres García, Joaquim Sunyer, Josep Clarà, Xavier Nogués, Manolo Hugué and Pablo Gargallo, among others.

The show will also run at the Himeji City Museum of Art from 29 June to 1 September 2019 before it travels to Sapporo and Shizuoka to finish its tour in Tokyo in April 2020.

The exhibition "Chapeau! From Casas and Picasso to Balenciaga and Pertegaz" is dedicated to hats and all that they represented at a given moment. But it is primarily an aesthetic look at one of the most fascinating items of clothing in the first half of the 20th century, although its existence dates back many centuries earlier. In theory, this would be the first exhibition of a historical, retrospective and monographic nature on the subject of hats ever organised in Catalonia and also the rest of Spain.

To celebrate the triple anniversary of the house of architect Victor Horta -100 years of the sale of the building, 50 years of the inauguration of the Museum and 30 years of restoration- the Horta Museum is staging three new exhibitions that focus on the still unknown facet of Victor Horta as a collector. The three exhibitions, entitled "The History of the Museum", "The Horta House" and "The Workshop and Its Enlargement", are running concurrently in the Museum's three buildings.

The National Gallery presents the first UK exhibition of Spain's Impressionist, Sorolla, in over a century.
Known as the "master of light" for his iridescent canvases, this is a rare opportunity to see the most complete exhibition of Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida's (1863-1923) paintings outside Spain.

The Leopold Museum is dedicating one of the most comprehensive retrospectives to date to Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980), once dubbed the "chief wildling" among artists. Comprising some 260 items, including key works from international collections alongside others that have rarely or never been displayed before, the exhibition focuses on Kokoschka's multi-faceted work from all periods of his oeuvre that he produced at various places of activity, including Vienna, Dresden, Prague, London and, lastly, Villeneuve.

The wide variety of works on display will help visitors to undertake a journey through the various European styles during the late 19th and early 20th centuries: Modernisme, Art Nouveau, Liberty, Secession and Jugendstil, while at the same time learning about the different sensibilities with which artists tackled the subject of femininity.

This major exhibition brings together 45 works by Vincent van Gogh to reveal how he was inspired by Britain and how he inspired British artists.

On show for the first time, this exhibition shines a spotlight on the work of 18 women designers and a product photographer who worked for the Deutsche Werkstätten in the early 20th century. These artists have been forgotten over time despite their busy design and teaching activities, multitude of exhibitions and successfully winning competitions. Women who worked as furniture designers even though they were only often trained as drawing teachers, and generally without a university entrance qualification at the time. Women who disrupted traditional social roles and gained new autonomy and self-determination in their everyday professional and social lives  by pursuing a field that had been previously reserved for men. These women not only made a vital contribution to the success of fledgling workshops, they also decisively advanced the reform movement in Germany.

The touring exhibition "Blue, the Colour of Art Nouveau" aims to explore the spirit of a period in which blue was a predominant thread. In the late nineteenth century, relating landscapes and the phenomena of nature to moods, so as to transmit the soul's hues and tonalities, ended up constituting a poetological aesthetic that became inscribed within the great movement of modernity, moving through Symbolism and witnessing the birth of the cinematograph.
