[Translate to English:] Tierwelten

In the exhibition “Fantastische Tierwesen” the museum of ethnography presents objects from its collections and interweaves them with elements from tales of old, as well as mythology and pop culture. You are invited to a conversation between museum objects and figures from a mythical, real or digital world. This exhibition, specifically designed for families, hosts dragons, rainbow snakes, lions, and unicorns, that jointly carry you away into a universe elsewhere, that will fascinate both young and old.

How are Pokémon linked to the yellow river? And what connects a fursuit and the Mongolian Cham dance? These and many further questions will be answered in the exhibition, simultaneously showing the interconnections of contemporary phenomena and mythical imagining of animals, ghosts and fantastic creatures.

A group of child curators has commented on the selection of exhibited objects, and set some creative impulses to eventually make the “Fantastic Beasts” an exciting experience for all.
