This exhibition explores the ancient legend of the nine muses who awaken once a century to bring inspiration and prosperity. The display features nine unique haute couture designs from the museum's collection, representing specific muses and including works by renowned fashion houses.
Fiery Radiance (Resplandor Ígneo) draws inspiration from the classic myth of the nine muses, who are said to awaken every hundred years to bestow their unique gifts upon the world. The exhibition interprets this legend through the lens of high fashion, showcasing nine select haute couture garments that represent the individual character and essence of muses such as Clio, Euterpe, Terpsichore, and Melpomene.
Each garment on display is part of the extensive collection of the Museo del Automóvil y la Moda, featuring creations from legendary designers including Dior, Azzaro, Balmain, Nina Ricci, and Givenchy. This temporary exhibition served as the central theme for the museum’s 14th-anniversary celebrations, emphasizing the intersection of heritage, myth, and fashion design.
