Futurism & Europe. The aesthetics of a new world reveals how the futurists made their entrance onto the European art scene over a hundred years ago and began interacting with other avant-garde artists and movements, such as De Stijl and Bauhaus. The futurist ideal involves the merging together of art and life. The exhibition features paintings and sculpture, furniture, carpets, ceramics, interior and stage designs, clothing, books and graphic work. A wide variety of functional objects are also on display, such as the famous Campari soda bottle.
