From humanity’s endless attempts to understand the origins and structure of the universe to efforts to comprehend the existence of nature, humanity, order, and time: what mythological narratives, ritual practices, and symbols have carried knowledge of the cosmos across the centuries?
On SEPTEMBER 21, Armenia’s Independence Day, the international exhibition “Myths, Cults and Cosmology: Museum Island Berlin at the History Museum of Armenia” will open. For the first time, it will bring together a selection of objects from the collections of the six museums of Museum Island Berlin and the History Museum of Armenia on a single platform.
The exhibition offers visitors a unique opportunity to encounter cosmological visions and ideas from diverse cultural contexts, spanning the ancient world, the Middle Ages, and the modern era.
