exhibition
Dive into the universe of J.R.R. Tolkien. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien is recognized as the father of modern fantasy. His iconic works, "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", have not only fascinated generations of readers but also redefined the fantasy genre. By creating a rich and detailed universe populated with diverse races such as Elves, Dwarves, and Hobbits, Tolkien laid the foundations of a world that continues to inspire writers and filmmakers around the globe.
Tolkien drew inspiration from his expertise in philology and his passions for Germanic, Celtic, and Scandinavian legends to build a unique mythology. His ability to weave epic tales with universal themes such as friendship, sacrifice, and the struggle between good and evil allowed his stories to transcend time. His work is also marked by meticulous attention to linguistic detail, creating languages and alphabets that add unparalleled depth to his universe.
The exhibition will also highlight the film adaptations made by Peter Jackson, which played a crucial role in popularizing Tolkien's works to a global audience:
- The "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, released between 2001 and 2003, a grand saga that marked the history of cinema;
- The "The Hobbit" trilogy, which takes us through the adventures of Bilbo Baggins.
The exhibition will transport you to a fantasy world where imagination knows no bounds. Do not miss this unique opportunity to travel through Middle-earth!
