The World That Wasn't There

Rovereto is the second location of this great exhibition already hosted at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Florence in 2015.
Objects from the Ligabue Collection, visible to the public for the first time in this show, narrate the great civilizations of Central and South America before the arrival of Europeans.
