Trojan War legend was captivating not only in antiquity, but has persevered throughout history to the present day. What inspired the many appropriations of the myth is explored in this show, which features art from ancient to contemporary. Archaeological evidence for the city of Troy is presented as a real-life pendant to the mythical afterlife of the famous city and its war.

Inside the huge cylindrical tower at the center of this museum, artist Yadegar Asisi constructed a photorealistic picture that surrounds the viewer entirely and stretches several stories high. Based on a similar piece he made in 2012, the picture shows a stylized vision of life in the Greco-Roman city of Pergamon (modern Bergama, Turkey) during a festival held for the visiting Roman emperor Hadrian. The surrounding rooms of the museum contain sculpture and other artifacts from Pergamon, shown in Asisi’s spectacular staging with colorful lighting and accent walls.

500 years after Leonardo da Vinci’s death, his life work is commemorated with a large-scale exhibition in the Louvre. The museum holds more da Vinci paintings than any other institution in the world, and for this jubilee show has gathered many more—as well as drawings and sculptures—from other museums. Conservation work on the Louvre’s da Vinci paintings has led to new discoveries that are incorporated into this retrospective of the artist.
