Among the exhibits there are works by American and European artists such as Chéret, Mucha, Steinlen, Hassall, Meunier, Privat-Livemont, Hohenstein, True, Bradley, Parrish, and Penfield. There are also works by the Catalan artists: Cases, Rusiñol and Riquer. The exhibition is opened till 30 September 2007.
