A sensational discovery 87 years ago turned the unknown pharaoh Tutankhamun into a superstar.

The graceful elegance of Parmigianino’s (1503–1540) works was regarded by his contemporaries and the succeeding generations as the perfection of style. Although the Museum of Fine Arts does not preserve any of his paintings, however, we own an extensive collection of his drawings and prints. Parmigianino was a passionate and prolific draughtsman. Almost one thousand sheets have survived, representing the richest drawing oeuvre of sixteenth-century Italy, with the exception of Leonardo. The diversity of the themes and techniques of the twenty autographed drawings in the Collection of Prints and Drawings represent every period of the artist’s career and provide an insight into his magnificent art.

A "live" dinosaur show at the Arena. The history of these bygone creatures is demonstrated by large-scale, true-to-life machinery and a wonderful story. The performance takes us back, as it were, to the age of dinosaurs with the help of animal figures that can be touched, seen and heard.
