Having selected five themes, this intriguing internationally oriented exhibition attempts to follow these themes back throughout the history of art to rediscover their mythological roots. Drawing from the collections of both the National Museum and the Modern Museum in Stockholm, this exhibition presents over 350 works of art that deal with one of the main themes. These include: the Great Mother, Time, Heroism, Technology, and themes pertaining to artists, such as the Muses, Rembrandt, the history of poetry, Faust, and Dionysus. An enthralling journey that illuminates the striking commonalities in the art of all time periods, and therefore also sheds light on the similarities between humans in all ages of history.
