The exhibition
- The exhibition is itinerant and it has already been shown in India, Vietnam, the Philippines and recently at the National Library of Australia in Canberra. It consists of 32 panels and describes to viewers the fast growing influence of the ideas depicted by the Quijote as a literary piece and also as a point of cultural and popular reference. Each panel has quotes and illustrations representing a variety of aspects and influences Cervantes and his work have had through the times and in the arts (literature, painting, ballet, opera, cinema, etc.).
