Exhibition: Alchemy - A mysterious world
Time
Open daily June 5 - August 31, 11 am - 5 pm
New exhibition at Skolosters Castle!
Welcome to an exhibition that takes you on a journey through the mysterious world of alchemy - from 16th century books to its unexpected presence in our own time. For centuries, alchemy has lured curious souls with the promise of transformation: lead to gold, matter to spirit, ignorance to insight.
With the help of graphically rich and imaginative illustrations from the unique collections of the Skokloster Library, you will meet the characters and mysticism of the golden age of alchemy. Lavish images and imaginative symbols bring to life the ideas and experiments that occupied Europe's foremost philosophers and practitioners. Here, art, mysticism and learning meet in a visual language that still captivates and puzzles.
