Magic

From witches’ brews to witch doctors’ rituals, from shamans’ incantations to conjurors’ spectacular illusions, all magical practices summon up invisible forces in order to influence the course of events. Asking for the power to cure, inspire love, enchant and sometimes even bewitch. Throughout the exhibition, specimens from the natural sciences dialogue with archaeological and ethnographical objects, showing us how omnipresent magic is in our lives. Who has never put a “magical” object in their pocket to bring them luck?
