Exhibition overview
Alternately exciting or cruel, intoxicating or destructive, speed, an object of adoration, determines our lives and behaviors today.
In the 20th century, speed was a world where images and sensations crashed into one another at a frantic pace, where space and time were shaken. A decisive factor of our time, speed has determined major scientific, technological, political, and even poetic changes. It draws a trajectory in the most diverse fields: sports, medicine, technology, military strategy, communications, information technology, astrophysics, and comics.
The exhibit brings together hot rods, supersonic planes, classic cars, and racing boats, as well as all of the disciplines infusing speed into our world.
