Topic Areas

The ‘Body.Cult.Religion’ exhibition is divided into seven thematic areas. The Archaeological Museum shows the thematic areas ‘Divine Figures’, ‘Gender Roles?’, ‘Religion and Healing’ and ‘After Death’, which deal with the physical representation of the divine, the handling of gender roles, religious healing rituals and the handling of the dead body in past and present religions. In the Bible Museum, the topics ‘Rituals of Life’, ‘Purity for Mind and Body’ and ‘Disembodiment’ deal with initiation rituals, purification rites and the relationship between mind and body in the world's religions.
