Art and Armor. East West. Crossing Continents and Cultures
This broad, bold, and sweeping exhibition explores the art of armor and arms from a myriad of historical perspectives, displaying exemplars of various cultures in confrontation and comparison. Conceived as a journey, spanning centuries from the late 1400s to the late 1800s, and crossing continents, some 120 original objects give testimony to the evolution of elements of iconic armor and weaponry as they evolved and were deployed across a broad expanse of world geography and history: Europe, Turkiye, Persia, India and Japan.
Women in the Ancient World. Modern Reflections
Today, women’s rights are still very much in debate or dispute across most societies of the modern world. The issues in most societies reflect an embedded perception of women in the need of male protection, but how did this perception evolve? Developed in collaboration with leading Museums of Italy, this unique exhibition presents an extraordinary selection of artifacts and artworks including original statues, precious everyday life objects, jewelry, and hidden epigraphic heritage that give voice to well-known and lesser-known women of the ancient Mediterranean world, with a specific focus on the ancient Egyptian, Etruscan and Roman culture, ultimately shedding light on all those precepts that frame the debate today.
The Medici Dynasty. Family Portraits
The Medici dynasty ruled the city of Florence for more than three centuries, empowering it to reach its enduring destiny as ‘città d’arte’ par excellence.

Dayak. Headhunters of Borneo
Anthropology and art intertwine in this special international exhibition presenting the fierce and independent headhunter tribes of the Dayak, a term coined by Europeans for the indigenous ethnic groups that inhabited the immense island of Borneo. Despite a plenitude of dialects, languages, laws and customs, these disparate tribes shared distinguishing characteristics: profound animist beliefs and headhunting tactics and rituals for which they gained worldwide infamy.
Heroes and Gods in Venetian Baroque Painting
Through myth and allegory, Venice has always identified itself with high ideals, as a place where
justice prevailed. During the artistic season of the Baroque, Venetian painting expressed ethical and philosophical messages that exalted Venice as the ideal republic. It was an artistic season defined by a stylistic revival, a rediscovery of the traditions of color and atmosphere that distinguished the 16th century painting. This extraordinary exhibition beautifully illustrates the reflection of Venice through the masterful, mythological and allegorical Baroque language of important Venetian painters.
