The exhibition includes historical documents, paintings, personal belongings and his office, expressly brought from Madrid, in addition to the screening of the documentary Maura in 12 strokesProduced by the IEB and IB3 to commemorate the centenary.
According to the Balearic Government, Antoni Maura is considered "the great statesman" of contemporary Spanish history, recognized even by his ideological rivals for acting "free from personal interests or ambitions for power." His figure represents the most outstanding generation of Mallorcans of his time, a product of the academic legacy of the pioneering Institut Balear, inspired by Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos.
