Introduction to "Gothic Modern. From darkness to light"
Welcome to an introduction to the exhibition "Gothic Modern. From Darkness to Light".
For many artists, the power of the Gothic aesthetic to arouse deep emotions was highly inspiring. Faith and doubt, love and sexuality, identity and social roles are just some of the themes addressed in the exhibition.
Join us for a 30-minute introductory tour highlighting topics and art works from the period 1875 to 1925 alongside works from Europe of the Middle Ages and Northern Europe during the renaissance.
To sign up for the tour, please contact the information desk in the vestibule. The tour has a limited number of places and is free of charge if you have a valid entrance ticket to the museum.
