Guided Tours and Events at the Exhibition
People have always sought answers to the unknown. The exhibition “Oracle: A Kaleidoscope of the Future” shows how the way we view the future has changed over millennia—and why it has lost none of its fascination to this day.
The exhibition explores the human need to interpret uncertainties and find direction. It sheds light on the centuries-old practice of reading signs in the world—whether in the flight of birds, in the clouds, or today in streams of data. Selected objects from the museum’s collections—ranging from ancient artifacts to natural history exhibits and works of art—illustrate the diverse methods people have used for millennia to interpret the future and find guidance amid uncertainty. Who do we trust when we want to learn about the future?
