It also analyses the reasons that motivated their appearance, purpose and the life-style that goes with it; their ships and weapons…. Also representing some of the most famous characters there were.

The word Pirate is associated with a thief that steals in the sea, a cruel and ruthless individual that has no pity on others.

Apart from being called Pirates, other words have bee used to define this men. It is a matter of concepts, but some of these words do not mean the same thing. The exhibition goes into detail with explanation panels and tridimensional figures about the meaning of the different words widely used to describe them.
