Objects are silent narrators of their own stories. Protagonists of a long journey, they cross thresholds, undergo trials, make discoveries, lose their way, and finally return home. Works of art are no exception: they are created, transported, acquired, collected, and sometimes destroyed.

Tales of the Uncanny is a brief compilation of adventures adrift between the borders of truth and mere anecdote. This selection of twelve pieces by emerging artists includes stories as extraordinary as the loss of a shipment, a chance encounter with Madonna, unopened letters from the Vatican, and even discoveries of a rare beetle species in forgotten corners of Mexico.

In this way, the exhibition offers a pretext for thinking of the museum as a fertile space for narrative and imagination, where each work carries within itself a story that merits being listened to, though it cannot always be verified: an invitation to rediscover these objects.
