ENG I Mythos. Von Göttern zu Superheldinnen Englisch

We warmly invite you to a public guided tour through the current special exhibition at the Theaterplatz Art Collections on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 1:00 p.m.

The exhibition Myth. From gods to superheroines examines the meaning of ancient myths from the early modern period to the present day and shows how their motifs continue to affect art, film, comics and digital media to this day.

As ambassadors of fundamental truths, myths not only address persons of world-historical significance, but also symbolize the struggle for human change and human development.

A special focus of the exhibition is on art in the GDR period. Numerous artists resorted to mythological materials in order to negotiate social tensions, hopes and future designs in a pictorial way.

Public tours are free of charge; only the regular museum entrance is to be paid. The number of participants is limited to 24 people. Groups of 10 or more people are requested to pre-order guided tours due to the limited group size. Thank you very much!

Further dates can be found in our event calendar.

We look forward to seeing you!
