Hotel with art Claris 5*GL Barcelona

THE PRE-COLUMBIAN ART COLLECTION

Authentic treasures await in every corner of the Claris Hotel & Spa 5*GL. From English furniture of the 18th and 19th centuries, Turkish kilims, mosaics, and sculptures from the Roman Empire, to Egyptian engravings commissioned by Napoleon, works by Catalan artist Josep Guinovart, and even Indian and Burmese sculptures.

The Museum Room showcases Pre-Columbian culture, featuring figures from Mesoamerica and Central America, human representations from the western cultures of Mexico, and statues of Costa Rican warriors who witnessed the arrival of Europeans in America.

MIX OF CULTURES

Unique pieces include decorated censers, jewelry and jade artifacts, Mayan ceramic vessels, hieroglyphic texts, geometric motifs, and depictions of animals, gods, and humans participating in religious ceremonies or palace scenes.

The Andean region is also part of this rich cultural spectrum, featuring characteristic ceramic vessels from the Nazca culture, including a funerary urn and various objects used in ritual ceremonies.

Works of art from the collection can be found in every area of the hotel, including in the rooms.
