Blaschka's bladder jellyfish A2 - The Sea
Choose options
Poster with the work Physophora myzonema. Siphonophore, Glass , 1860-1890, by Leopold & Rudolf Blaschka, published in connection with this autumn's major exhibition THE SEA (2024).
We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the oceans that cover more than 70% of our own planet. But the deeper we delve beneath the surface, the more incredible things emerge. And when we uncover the pictorial atlas of the imagination, we are literally inundated with imaginations, stories, and fantastic creatures.
THE SEA takes the form of a large, thematic exhibition where myths, history and the present merge. And where art, culture and science meet. The exhibition fills the entire South Wing of the museum and consists of three overarching themes: 1) The Sea between art and science, 2) The sublime and mythological sea and 3) The Anthropocene sea.
The exhibition opens with an exploration of art and cultural objects that lie at the intersection of aesthetics and science, such as Anna Atkins's blueprints of seaweed, Emilija Škarnulytė's art films from the depths of the Gulf of Mexico, or Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka's incredible glass models of marine invertebrates.
