COMING SOON "T. REX VS T. REX"
Museo Nazionale del Cinema, Mole Antonelliana - From December 17, 2026, to January 31, 2028
The National Museum of Cinema presents the exhibition “T. rex vs T. rex”. Two T. rex skeletons will be displayed facing each other in the heart of the Mole Antonelliana, transforming the Temple Hall into a spectacular meeting point between paleontology and cinema.
The exhibition explores how the most famous and feared dinosaur of all time has captured the collective imagination and become an iconic figure in film history.
With the exhibition “T. rex vs T. rex” – curated by Gianni Canova and Stefano Boni, in collaboration with Giaime Alonge – the Museum brings the deep time of Earth's history to the Mole Antonelliana for the first time, juxtaposing it with the time of cinema. Dinosaurs mark both the beginning and the end of the exhibition journey, which gives shape to the invisible, to what has never been seen and can only be imagined and tentatively reconstructed.
The exhibition is organized in collaboration with Theatrum Mundi, the Arezzo-based gallery founded by Luca Cableri.
