Discover the meticulous and glamourous World of Ferrari with some 100 rare exhibits from the legendary Italian marque’s rich history
MACAU, CHINA - Media
OutReach - January 24, 2019 - Macau's leading leisure and entertainment
resort, City of Dreams, is teaming up with the Design Museum (London), the
world's leading museum devoted to architecture and design, and Ferrari, the
world's most iconic carmaker to present the 'Ferrari: Under the Skin' exhibition in Asia for the first time.
Following on from highly acclaimed runs at the Museo Ferrari in Maranello,
Italy and the Design Museum in London, 'Ferrari:
Under the Skin' will make City of Dreams in Macau its coveted third global
destination from January 25 to June 16, 2019.
The Asia's first Ferrari: Under the Skin Exhibition features over 10 cars of significance and some 100 original artefacts from the legendary Italian marque's rich history.
Continuing City of Dreams' mission to deliver out-of-this-world
experiences for global travelers in Asia, and following hot on the heels of the
opening of the groundbreaking Morpheus hotel, the HKD2 billion-valued major exhibition
takes visitors on an immersive journey to explore the history and design of the
world's most luxurious and iconic car brand. Curated by the Design Museum in
London and the Museo Ferrari in Maranello,
'Ferrari:
Under the Skin' features over 10 cars of significance and some 100 original
artefacts from the legendary Italian marque's rich history, many of which are
from private collections and are on display in public for the first time in
Asia.
For the duration of the exhibition, City of Dreams will transform its
contemporary art space into a unique museum that will showcase the rise of
Ferrari from its against-the-odds beginnings in an Italy ravaged by the Second
World War to the glamour and glory of the brand we know today. The exhibition
captures the passion, ambition and relentless drive for excellence that has
made Ferrari the most sought-after name among motoring enthusiasts the world
over.
'Ferrari:
Under the Skin' is divided into six distinct zones, showcasing everything
from original hand-drawn sketches and early wooden master models to engines,
gearboxes and other parts that illustrate Ferrari's ground-breaking engineering
techniques and design. Among the highlights set to thrill visitors is an exact
replica of the first Ferrari ever made in 1947, the 2000 Formula 1
championship-winning car driven by Michael Schumacher as well as an elite
selection of vintage racing cars that hold a special place in Ferrari's
incredible story.
Mr.
David Sisk, Property President of City of Dreams Macau, said: "We are very
excited to bring this exceptional exhibition to Asia for the first time, and to
give visitors to City of Dreams the exclusive opportunity to experience some of
the most famous cars of all time. Just like Morpheus, innovation and style have
always been at the heart of Ferrari's DNA, and the collaboration between the
two ultra-luxury brands highlights our shared values and relentless drive to
keep raising the bar."
Deyan
Sudjic, Director of the Design Museum, said: "Ferrari Under the Skin shows
the remarkable creative process that goes into designing,
building and racing some of the most beautiful and powerful cars ever
made. We are delighted that the exhibition will be enthralling a new audience
in Macao. It's particularly appropriate that it will be shown in a venue
so closely associated with the architecture of Dame Zaha Hadid, a brilliant
designer, and a long term friend of the Design Museum.
Tickets for 'Ferrari: Under the Skin' are available now, priced at
MOP80. Guests will be eligible for one complimentary ticket on any spending at
City of Dreams' outlets. For more information, please visit
