Fundación Bancaja — Attraction in Valencia

We came to see the Sorella exhibition, which was very very nice (great pieces, scenography etc). Sadly the visit ends with a VR experience (which is ok if you never tried) where some of the ppl taking care of it were not very pleasant, ignoring us or turning their back when we were trying to talk to them. Then during the VR experience I was also told by someone to keep walking while I was in a dead end in the VR scene, with no further instructions (we were not told we had to wait at each section for a door to appear at the end of a timer). So I proceeded following the person in front of me who was a bit ahead in the script, and ended up walking through a wall. I got then blamed by the same person saying "you know you're not supposed to pass through walls right ?!". I answered that yes, I know about VR environments a lot and it was indeed confusing to have to do that, but since he told me to keep walking, I did, and used the person in front of me as a guide. Since he then stayed silent, I raised my headset because I didn't know what to do nor where that person was. He immediately blamed me for that, saying sarcasticly "Oh, then you should know that you're not supposed to remove or touch the headset as it's EXTREMELY fragile ?", while I raised it very cautiously of a couple cm, holding it firmly with both my hands, to see him while confused. I litteraly design and concieve those type of headsets, anyway. He also for some unknown reason weirdly backed off his head, raising his palms up when I answered. They're not EXTREMELY fragile as he overexagerated it, if you manipulate them cautiously. So yeah for the high price you have to pay to enter this Private fundation, it wasn't such a great experience at the end, but the Sorella exhibition is totally...

A Captivating Artistic Voyage at Fundación Bancaja

The exhibition "En el mar de Sorolla con Manuel Vicente" and "Eduardo Úrculo, un viajero cosmopolita" at Fundación Bancaja is a must-see for art lovers in Valencia. This beautifully curated showcase brings together two distinct yet complementary artistic visions, offering an immersive journey through light, movement, and cultural exploration.

The Sorolla-inspired works by Manuel Vicente are a breathtaking tribute to the sea, filled with warmth, fluidity, and a masterful use of color. His ability to evoke the Mediterranean essence is remarkable, capturing the very soul of the sea in a way that feels both nostalgic and timeless.

On the other hand, Eduardo Úrculo’s exhibition takes you on a journey across different cultures and urban landscapes. His vibrant, cosmopolitan style, full of travel-inspired imagery and striking compositions, adds a fascinating contrast to the maritime themes of Sorolla and Vicente. His work exudes a sense of adventure, reflecting a life deeply influenced by movement and discovery.

The space at Fundación Bancaja enhances the experience, with its elegant setting and well-thought-out presentation allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the artworks. Whether you're drawn to the tranquility of the sea or the energy of global travel, this exhibition offers a rich and inspiring artistic experience.

A highly recommended visit for anyone in Valencia looking for a meaningful...

In Valencia from 5 to 21 August 2015, and it was impossible to leave without visiting La Piel Translúcida exhibition in the Fundacion Bancaja. We did it on our last day and we were delighted with it. Wide exhibition spaces. Abundance of staff, kind, and very professional. There were few visitors, we enjoyed the visit. Interesting selection of derivative products in the shops. It is too bad there is no restaurant or tea saloon. But it was really a nice experience, in front of such interesting art...
