Overall, the exhibition’s strategies aim to create an engaging, educational, and culturally inclusive environment, promoting shared storytelling and intercultural exchange.
– D&S Head Curator
The exhibition’s primary goal is to spark curiosity about the widespread existence and shared characteristics of these mythical creatures. It aims to prompt audiences to reflect on why serpent iconography plays a significant role in the narratives of civilisations across the continents.
Additionally, it seeks to promote the realisation that, despite cultural differences, there exist common threads that bind humanity together. The secondary objective is to inspire deeper exploration of the extensive collections, historical context, and underlying narratives associated with these objects found in museums and galleries worldwide.
To accomplish these aims, an immersive scrolling website interface, enriched with audio and 360 degree visual content, will serve as a guide, leading visitors on a digital journey through the realms of myth and legend.
