'Dangerous and Divine. The Secret of the Serpent' follows the snake's journey from prehistoric African cave art to the work of present day artists. Why is the world fascinated with this particular reptile? The exhibition explores various disciplines, including archaeology, anthropology, art history, esotericism, psychology and biology, in its attempt to answer this question.
