Exhibitions

To immerse oneself in beauty, to get lost in dreams, even very different images and worlds, to be able to experience the emotion of being just a few steps away from original pieces and tables that have made the History of comics and illustration worldwide. Thanks to the exhibition routes set up in various historical buildings in the heart of Lucca, visitors will be able to approach the work of extraordinary artists and discover the greatness of their works.

In the relevant boxes you will find a summary of the exhibition routes. The texts are extracts from the curators’ editorials, contained in the Artbook of the Exhibitions, which will be available from 14 October, the date of the opening ceremony of the exhibitions at Palazzo Ducale, at the bookshop.
