Last stop for the exhibition ''An eye in the sky 1939-1945. The strategic significance of Balearic Island Ports during World War II", which is set up on the campus of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB) until 17 November.
Made up of 16 panels of untouched photographs taken from between 1941 and 1945, the exhibition examines the strategic role played by our ports during the years of conflict.
The Port Authority of the Balearic Islands (APB) in conjunction with lecturers from the Department of Geography at the UIB have recovered the photographic and documentary material on operations carried out during World War II and have made it available to the public through this exhibition.
It first opened its doors to the public last May in the old APB headquarters. It then moved around the ports of Alcudia, Mahon, Ibiza and La Savina before ending its journey at the UIB where it can be visited until 17 November in the hall of the Ramon Llull building of the university campus in Palma.
The unveiling of the exhibition, which took place this morning, was attended by Dr. Joana Maria Petrus, professor and sub-director of the Department of Geography; Jorge Martín, innovation and quality manager of the APB; Dr. Miquel Deyà, dean of the School of Philosophy and Arts; and Dr. Llorenç Huguet, dean of the UIB.
