An oracle that foretells the future? A projection screen for our quest for knowledge and security? A coordinate system that makes the movement of the planets predictable? Or all of these things at once? And where does it come from, how did it spread across the world, what was it used for, and how was it represented?
The curators of this cabinet exhibition will provide answers to these questions and offer further fascinating insights into the zodiac.
