Mythos (Myth)
Building on and running parallel to the exhibition Allegories of Life. Ursula Mattheuer-Neustädt and Wolfgang Mattheuer, the exhibition Mythos examines the reception of antiquity and the use of various myths in art.
The exhibition explores key questions: Where are ancient myths still present today? Who are today’s heroes? Which ideals, fears, and values are reflected in historical and contemporary heroic figures?
Myths are not static narratives; they are constantly evolving — from ancient gods to contemporary comic book superheroes, from oral traditions to their viral circulation online.
