Description
Born in 1898 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands, M. C. Escher developed a unique visual language that blended art, mathematics, geometry, and logic to challenge perception itself. Renowned for his surreal imagery, visual paradoxes, and infinite patterns, he became an icon not only among mathematicians and scientists but also with the wider public, captivated by the striking power of his work. His creations form a remarkable meeting point between scientific rigour and poetic imagination, leaving a lasting influence on design, graphic arts, and visual communication.

Great exhibition and very helpful staff. We went ona wet opening weekend and it was really crowded but everyone was considerate and you did have time to stand with each piece for as long as you wanted.

The work of Escher is spellbinding, it didn't disappoint up close. The exhibition was well curated and the installations where you could "enter" one of Escher prints were cool. Bach's soundtrack was inspired, I did feel I was a "strange loop" to quote Douglas Hofstadter.

Brilliant, one of my favourite artists, great to see more works than all the usual famous works, plus the audio visuals. Highly recommended.

Absolutely superb. I absolutely loved this exhibition, loads of artwork to see and really interesting accompanying signage, but also not too much. Loved the interactive parts, I wasn’t expecting the mirror room, and really liked the bit at the end where you can put yourself in his paintings! Little details like the silver balls everywhere just added to the experience, and a huge shout out to the lovely staff. Especially the guy who came to chat to me near the beginning! As a solo visitor it made me feel very welcome and was lovely to discuss my thoughts. Highly recommend

Beautiful exhibit. Exceptional graphic artistry. Great incorporation of the staircase to get to the exhibit. Overall very immersive. Overcrowded at start of exhibit. Requires better crowd management as a lot of reading required
