STAR WARS TM Identities
18 December 2015 – 16 April 2016

For over thirty-five years, audiences around the world have followed the adventures of Luke and Anakin Skywalker, Jedi heroes from a galaxy far, far away. And now, a highly interactive and exciting exhibition comes to the Vienna galaxy with STAR WARSTM Identities to present 200 impressive original objects from the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. The exhibition is about a character-driven adventure into identity in which the visitors explore the nature of their identity through the Star Wars universe. They can experience the Star Wars characters in a completely new way and go on a multi-media identity quest to find out: What Forces shape you?

Closely interwoven with the collection and the educational content, this creative journey will use technology to help visitors of all ages create their own personal and original Star Wars identity by incorporating elements of their own identity with fictional elements. Visitors will then leave with their own unique character, inspired by the Star Wars universe.

As well as being an entertaining cinematic art exhibition, which demonstrates finds such as photography, designer pieces and sketches, the pop culture exhibition is also very educational. There is barely another film phenomenon that has shaped pop culture more profoundly than Star Wars. The space saga deals with the global parallels of myths, fairy tales, rites, stories and rituals, ultimately embracing the idea of forging a sense of identity. The exhibition offers lots of approaches to this. The reason for this is a team of experts from the fields of psychology, neuropsychology, biochemistry and genetics, who carry out cutting-edge, state-of-the-art investigations into identity in STAR WARSTM Identities.
