Exhibition “Cosmos—Mysteries of Humanity”
The exhibition explores the great mystery of the cosmos. It explores cosmologies and creation myths from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Polynesia, as well as those of the Western world—from Egypt and Mesopotamia through the Germanic peoples to the biblical Genesis and the history of scientific research in Europe. The exhibition fascinatingly illustrates how differently people explain their nature and the reasons for their existence. In addition to numerous multimedia installations, the Zurich Planetarium will be a guest at the exhibition for its entire duration.
