Temporary exhibition « Playing with gods »
This temporary exhibition presents religion via different forms of expression including myth, dance, theater, literature, sound, laughter even… video games. It looks at examples from Europe and beyond, and covers different points throughout history – from ancient times, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, right up to today’s world. There are over 100 representations of religion showcased in this exhibition including statues, paintings, books, engravings, objects, films and poetry. Ultimately these various forms of expression encourage a sense of playfulness and allow us to take a step back from the usual rhythm of everyday life.
