Barcelona, May 27 (EFE).- The board of directors of the Port of Barcelona has approved a license for the development of a museum and cultural center promoted by the Hermitage Museum of St. Petersburg and the Catalan capital’s Teatre del Liceu.

Following last year’s acquisition of the Fiat 500 by The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, the Fiat 500 F series will be on public display at the Museum for the first time from February 10 to May 27, 2019, as a highlight of The Value of Good Design, an exhibition drawn from MoMA’s stellar collection of industrial design. "500 is an icon of Italian style that never went out of fashion and that over the decades gained fans all around the world because of its key features and strong personality," said Luca Napolitano, Head of EMEA Fiat and Abarth brands. "Since 1957, Fiat 500 has always brought colors and smiles to everyday lives on the roads of the world, becoming an ambassador of the 'Bel Paese' and an icon of style and design 'made in Italy'.”
