Information

The exhibition has life-size figures, original pieces with their certificate of authenticity, replicas, busts, dioramas, storyboards, autographs and an endless number of pieces that reflect one of the jewels of the seventh art.
 
Among them, an original suit used in the filming of the first 1977 film ‘Star Wars’ or a piece of the Death Star, also used in the same film, stand out.
 
Different environments have been created, from a spaceship control bridge, hundreds of exhibits cover the room, desert scenes with life-size figures such as R2D2, a Jawa or Rey, different photocalls to fight against the dark side, or finish the tour with the imposing figure of Darth Vader surrounded by Imperial soldiers in a Roman setting from 2,000 years ago.
 
This is an exhibition designed to awaken the senses, surrounded by neon lights and soundtracks that gave life and soul to the famous science fiction films that changed the history of cinema forever.

In the Augusteum, a temple dedicated to the first Roman Emperor Octavian Augustus, one is able to learn about the cult to the emperor, the theatrical pomp and the displays of great wealth and prestige devised by the priests. As a means of spreading the imperial ideology, it relied on a great decorative richness, as is evidenced by the quarried marble floors, marking the splendour of a bygone era.

When close to the Forum, one can explore this meeting and market place dating from Roman times, which was an important religious, administrative, political and economic centre.
