Beschreibung

Space and knowledge in the cultures of the ancient world

This exhibition focuses on the interplay of space and knowledge in the cultures of the ancient world. Spanning the array of cultures and eras of the ancient and classical world, this unprecedented exhibition is based on recent academic research. It charts the way the ancients organised the world they lived in, both physically and mentally. Its subjects range from observations of the heavens to the mapping of the world, from the invention of writing to the soundscapes of ancient music, from the dimensions of the human body to attempts to pinpoint the location of the human soul.

Models of the cosmos, abstract numeral systems, intellectual writings, cartographical systems, calendars and ancient musical instruments, restless gods, tablets bearing curses or prophesies: ‘Beyond the Horizon’ features more than 400 exhibits from a range of historical and geographical contexts excitingly presented using state-of-the-art media. They tell an impressive story of different cultural technologies and their significance for attitudes to spatial phenomena in the ancient world.

• The entire audioguide tour through ‘Beyond the Horizon’
