Temporary Exhibition

Dreams History, Science and Utopia

What are your dreams? What do dreams reveal about us? What can we dream together?

Dreams connect memories, awaken emotions, and allow us to imagine futures. For ancient minds, they are bridges to the spiritual. For science, they are a universe of discoveries. In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, are we dreaming less?

Starting December 18th, check out our newest exhibition: Dreams: History, Science, and Utopia, and discover a unique and magical universe full of mysteries! Rediscover the power of dreaming and imagine new possibilities of the dream universe in our lives and in the construction of possible futures!
