Event Details:
Step into a world where magic shaped everyday life. Cursed! invites you to explore the stories of famous sorcerers like the Greek Medea and confront charming demons like the Mesopotamian Pazuzu.
Discover the real objects behind the myths, including intricately carved ivory wands, luminous gems, and lead curse tablets, all dating from 2000 BCE to 300 CE. These works reveal a timeless human desire: to influence the unseen forces that govern life and death.
Special opening day events on March 21 include an enchanting afternoon of mystical activities to compliment our newest and most magical exhibition.
