Imagine the classic Mona Lisa with a mustache. How about a beard? The Magic Gallery enables you to do just that, with a lighthearted introduction to a very unusual art form. First, students are magically transported “into” Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, to examine its every detail. Then they are taken into the “dada period.”
With unusual costumes, silly poetry and collages created by chance, the dada period laid the foundation for modern “pop art.”
