Amongst the emblematic works in exhibit, there is the “Guer-Blanc”, which Maties Palau Ferré painted in 1971 and was presented in exhibition at the Picasso’s 90^th anniversary homage which took place in Syracuse, New York, U.S.A., sponsored by the Syracuse University. Palau Ferré was the only painter  invited. Other important works at the Museum are the “Saint James and the Dragon” and several  paintings and sculptures which were exhibited in Washington D.C., U.S.A. in 1993, at the Organization of American States.
