This morning I had occasion to attend the opening of the exhibition Cadiz and Huelva, Atlantic Phoenician ports, which took place at 11:00 hours in the Museo Provincial de Huelva. In the opening ceremony participated Juan José Oña and Yolanda Peinado, Delegates of Culture of Huelva and Cadiz respectively, Enrique Martin, curator of the Museo de Huelva; Antonio Caceres, head of Culture Cajasol (sponsor of the exhibition), and Eduardo Garcia, curator of the exhibition.
All have emphasized the scientific significance of this monographic exhibition shows in detail the enormous influence that was the Phoenician civilization in the southwestern English. We are, without doubt, before "an important legacy of archeology Andalusian" , as noted by Henry Martin. The exhibition comprises 208 pieces, of which 86 have been loaned by the Museum of Cadiz and 122 by the Museum of Huelva, many of them unpublished and not exhibited before, because they come from excavations archaeological very recent. The exhibition is divided into five thematic sections: The adventure Phoenician, Phoenicians and Carthaginians ; The people of purple ; West ports; Under the protection of the gods and The last trip. Thus, through this most precious archaeological heritage belonging to the Phoenician culture, and now shows all together-we can make a mental journey back in time to know with precision how were their daily habits, from commercial and maritime activities to religious and funeral rites, through the clothing, ornaments, furnishings, etc.
The exhibition is complemented by an extraordinary catalog, over 350 pages and bound in hard cover, published by the Ministry of Culture of the Junta de Andalucía and Cajasol Social Work, which is available for those interested. In its exquisite preparation have helped over seventy specialists, not only in Andalusia but also the rest of Spain, providing all of them an impressive flow of historical and archaeological data on this fishing village that settled in the southwestern peninsular three thousand years ago. As explained at the beginning of the catalog the Minister of Culture of the Andalusian Paulino Plata: " (Phoenicians) were with the fertility of the Guadalquivir valley, whose lands were able to get the best performance. In this scenario, Cadiz and Huelva played a role. The first as a metropolis of great religious and administrative weight, in addition to trade, and the second as a metallurgical center redistribution of production from the area. "
The exhibition will run until 24 April. It is a unique opportunity, so do not miss it.
