After great success in Monza and Bologna, the exhibition comes to Florence with a completely renewed display that immerses visitors in the world of monsters from Japanese tradition. Over 150 works from the 18th and 19th centuries are on show, including prints, rare books, masks, and weapons and armor on loan from the Stibbert Museum. Highlights include the pitch dark room that becomes illuminated with 100 candles, accompanied by the voice of a Samurai. Young visitors will be especially pleased by the Pokémon and other contemporary interpretations, with a treasure hunt and art space especially created to entice kids. Adolescents, on the other hand, find intrigue in the works by Giulia Rosa, an online sensation, who has interpreted 7 legends with her digital art.
