The theme of the exhibition is gaming in a broad sense including billiards, chess and other leisure activities but many playing cards (including an original pack of the famous Ditha Moser Art Nouveau Tarock and war-related Happy Families games from the collection of our member Gejus van Diggele), parlour games (including Hammer and Bell), related photos, prints, and videos are on display. Playing cards for fortune-telling, conjuring (including original cards from the famous 19th century conjurer J. N. Hofzinser), and cards modified by card-sharps can be seen as well. Wien Museum

I Tarocchi dei Bembo - Tesori nascosti di Brera
(The Bembo tarot - Hidden treasures of Brera)

In mostra le 48 carte del mazzo di tarocchi braidense detto Brambilla, dal nome della famiglia milanese che l'ha posseduto nel corso dell'Ottocento e di buona parte del Novecento. Il mazzo è stato realizzato dalla bottega cremonese di Bonifacio Bembo tra il 1442 e il 1444, per il duca di Milano Filippo Maria Visconti...

A fare corona ai tarocchi dei due mazzi bembeschi presenti in mostra - quello di Brera e quello dell'Accademia Carrara di Bergamo - sono esposte, grazie alla disponibilità e generosità dei prestatori, alcune significative opere, selezionate per tentare di delineare, alla luce delle più recenti riflessioni critiche, le scelte espressive dei vari fratelli.
