From the moment in which Gabriele d’Annunzio conceived the name, up to nowadays, we follow the historical steps of these 100 years, with texts of poets or writers such as Quasimodo or Calvino, projections of films and photos of the first shop windows and everything regarding the evolution of design and fashion.

At MUDEC

At MUDEC, Museum of the cultures, has opened on March, 15th “Kandinskij, the wandering knight”. An unprecedentd exhibition uxtaposing works coming from the most important russian museums embracing the formative period of the artist,with imagination and suggestions leading back to the metaphor of the journey. The visitor can thus enter into abstract paintings and live a sort of cognitive adventure getting almost lost in the imagination of the great artist. The exhibition will close on July, 9 2017.

Always at MUDEC, “Dinosaurs. Giants from Argentina” an original scientific exhibition, dedicated to dinosaurs found in some archaeological sites in Argentina, a land of great wealth from the paleontological point of view.

Thirty years after the project of Andy Warhol dedicated to the Last Supper of Leonardo, it will be exhibited his interpretation of Leonardo’s masterpiece in 60 variations in woodcut.
