Fantastic Creatures: Opening Exhibition

Description

What monstrous beasts have populated our planet since antiquity? An encyclopedia from the 15th century provides us with a legendary overview in 20 illustrations.
In the 16th century, a naturalist lays the foundation for modern zoology, and a surgeon causes a stir in the medical world.
A moralist, who delights in gruesome myths, comes from the 17th century. And finally, in the 18th century, a universal scholar explores dragons and caves in the Swiss mountains, while a pastor chases shadows. Curious?
