Explore the universal themes of creation, passion, war, justice and mercy in the exhibition Feared and Revered: Feminine Power through the Ages. Consider the intercultural connection of female spiritual beings from around the world through sculptures, sacred artefacts and contemporary artworks.

  • Ask for connections between ancient and modern cross-cultural ideas about gender identity and gender relations.
