Dii sicuro la mostra sui Maya. nel ’99 ci fu una mostra simile a venezia ma non ricordo se su Maya o Aztechi.
Ad agosto forse la mostra sui capolavori rubati recuperati dall’Arma presso Palazzo Barberini a Roma.
Sono off topic, ma mi chiedevo se conoscessi la GNAM di Roma.
E’ proprio dai tempi della gloriosa mostra di Palazzo Grassi a Venezia che in Italia e in Europa non si espone una collezione così completa sui Maya.
Sarò un evento importantissimo!
Ho visitato la GNAM molto tempo fa, ma so che attualmente le sale dell’ ‘800 e del ‘900 sono chiuse per lavori e verranno riaperte dal 10 ottobre 2016.
L’autunno potrebbe essere una buona occasione per tornare 😉
