The Origins of the World: The Invention of Nature in the 19th Century

This exhibition examines the profound shift in how nature was understood and represented during the 19th century. As scientific discoveries reshaped human knowledge of the natural world, artists responded by developing new visual languages to capture landscape, geology, botany, and the origins of life itself. The show traces the dialogue between artistic innovation and scientific progress, revealing how the century's greatest minds sought to visualize and interpret the fundamental forces that shaped our planet.
