How do I initialize a pointer to an array of pointers?

I am trying to initialize a pointer to an array of pointers. Here's an example:

class MyClass { };
// INTENT: define a pointer to an array of pointers to MyClass objects
MyClass* (*myPointer)[];
int main(void) {
 // INTENT: define and initialize an array of pointers to MyClass objects
 MyClass * tempArray [] = {
 new MyClass(),
 new MyClass()
 };
 // INTENT: make myPointer point to the array just created
 myPointer = tempArray;
}

When I compile this I get:

./test2.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
./test2.cpp:15:19: error: cannot convert ‘MyClass* [2]’ to ‘MyClass* (*)[]’ in assignment
 myPointer = tempArray;
 ^~~~~~~~~
