THE MYTH OF SUPERHEROES is the first international exhibition that makes visible the thread connecting the past, present, and future of myths, highlighting the interdependence between ancient and modern mythology.
The exhibition presents a selection of all art forms involved in this spontaneous transmission, through an exceptional range of original objects in which archaeological works enter into dialogue with comics, original drawings, animations, antique dolls, and modern action figures, presented within a single exhibition path with a compelling narrative for both adults and children.
The exhibition is divided into eight main sections, where the display of objects is accompanied by an explanatory graphic and educational framework, as well as videos and video projections, interactive devices, and evocative scenographic settings in which visitors can lose themselves and rediscover the incredible universe of their favorite superheroes.
