Escher in Atrani

This museum celebrates M.C. Escher's deep fascination with Atrani, the tiny coastal village where he spent time in 1931 and created some of his most iconic early works, including lithographs of the town's stacked houses and bell tower. You can see how the village's impossible-looking geometry directly inspired the mind-bending spatial illusions that would define his career. It's a rare chance to stand in the exact landscape that sparked one of the 20th century's most recognizable artistic visions.
