The route through the ‘ancient’ museum ends abruptly before the exit.

A large cubic monolith, inspired by Stanley Kubrick‘s vision, stands out in front of visitors, inviting them to approach with curiosity.

From the unlikely perspective of a cubic body that seems to have fallen from above and become badly wedged in the ancient gallery, a multitude of colours compel visitors to enter and be entranced by a colourful embrace consisting of the enormous biodiversity of butterflies and beetles from all over the world.

In a sort of hypermodern and futuristic wunderkammer, the latest collection acquired in the 1990s by the Museum of Parma and created by Don Boarini, who was parish priest of Vigheffio (PR), is on display for the first time in its entirety. Almost three hundred entomological boxes filled with local and exotic lepidoptera and beetles cover the four walls of the room in their entirety, creating an exciting spectacle with dizzying details. There is no classification, no information. This room aims to recreate the wonder of the first wunderkammer with an immersive, dreamlike experience.
