Rome - Monsters of old displayed
Print Edition
Griffins, sirens and minotaurs went on display in Rome on Thursday for an exhibition on monsters of antiquity with Hollywood special effects experts still inspired by the classical creatures acting as consultants.
The show brought together 100 works including statues, frescoes and vases from museums around the world depicting fantastical creatures — all in a web of passages intended to resemble the minotaur’s labyrinth.
“Monsters are part of the myths of every culture, every civilization,” said Elisabetta Setari, co-curator of the exhibition with Rita Paris, director of the National Roman Museum, which is hosting the show.
“They have characterized our civilization from the dawn of time until now,” said Setari.
