End of the World

The story of the end of the world is ancient and brand new at the same time. It is constantly being told anew. And each time it develops its impact as a menacing scenario, a projection screen or a creative engine. In the special exhibition "The End of the World" in the Natural History Museum in Bern, the perspectives of natural science and cultural science coalesce and engage with these themes in an interdisciplinary fashion. They address the topic of fear and how to deal with it - and of the courage that is required to overcome it.
