The Zodiac from a Curatorial Perspective

Malerische Umsetzung des runden Himmelsbildes aus Dendera an einer Decke im Neuen Museum (Detail)

Guided tour in English. "What is your zodiac sign?" This question is still often asked today, in the age of science. But what exactly is the zodiac? An oracle that generates signs for the future? A projection screen for our quest for knowledge and certainty? A coordinate system that makes the movement of the planets calculable? Or all these things at the same time? And where did it come from, how did it spread across the world, what was it used for and how was it depicted?
The curators of this cabinet exhibition will give you answers to these questions and other exciting insights into the zodiac.
