The "Fantasy Museum - Art and Special Effects" is one of the first Art Museums in Puglia (Italy) and it's part of the 10% of the best tourist attractions in the world (Tripadvisor). It's unique in Italy and it is aimed at an audience of all ages. It has two thematic areas:

1) Art Fantasy, consisting of sculptures of Fantasy characters and life-size hyperrealistic statues (silicone, latex, fiberglass) sometimes mechanical and maneuvered by the public. Each work has its own meaning, written to excite and make you think.

2) Film Special Effects, consisting of statues, masks and numerous Special Effects that the twins Gabriele and Vittorio Magrì have made for over 25 Italian and international films. The artists themselves welcome visitors with enthusiasm and availability, happy to let the public discover a fascinating and surprising world but also a rare and little known profession. The mission of the Magrì twins is also educational (there are no jokes, strange sounds, creatures that move suddenly) and therefore the visit to the Museum is highly recommended for school groups
