Among them is a tapestry (woven fabric) that nearly reproduces Picasso's famous work "Guernica," of which only three exist globally, and it is open to the public only once a year. Additionally, there are lectures by invited external speakers, guided explanations of artworks led by curators, and art programs specifically for children.
