1 September is the last day to visit the exhibition The Uncanny House. We cordially invite you to the finissage at 6 p.m. including a guided tour and a final brindisi!

The exhibition The Uncanny House, curated by Ilaria Marotta and Andrea Baccin, presents new artistic perspectives on the concept of the uncanny that has inspired literary fantasy, fairy tales, horror stories and artistic creation since the early 19th century. The works of eighteen international artists investigate the sense of  unheimlich, i.e. the uncanny, within the Rome appartment where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe lived between 1786 and 1788. Having lost the physical traces of his passage, today empty spaces, interstices, chimeras, temporal shifts and voices are revealed.
