"What is your zodiac sign?" This question is asked often, even today in the age of science. But what exactly is the zodiac? An oracle that produces signs for the future? A projection of our pursuit of knowledge and certainty? A coordinate system that makes the movement of the planets calculable? Or all of these things at once? And where does it come from, how has it spread around the world, what was it used for, and how was it depicted?
The curators of this special exhibition provide answers to these questions and other exciting insights into the zodiac.
