animalistic! Animals and hybrid creatures in Antiquity

Today: 11.00 AM - 5.00 PM

19 September 2021 - 19 June 2022

Delve into a world of wild animals and ferocious hybrid creatures that have fired our imaginations from time immemorial. Learn about the status of animals in ancient civilisations and encounter monstrous creatures such as centaurs, griffins, the sphinx and the Chimera. Many of these hybrid creatures originated in the Middle East and Egypt. In Greek culture, they were a symbol of a strange, dangerous and chaotic world, against which the civilised world had to prevail.

Accompany the Greek heroes on their adventures in foreign lands and help them battle the most dangerous monsters that ever existed.

«animalistic! One Theme – Four Exhibitions» is a joint project by four Basel museums: tierischbasel.ch
