DARK SECRETS: THE ESOTERIC EXHIBITION
From the company behind the world-touring exhibition on Serial Killers.
Dark Secrets represents the point of convergence between occult sciences, supernatural phenomena, ancient beliefs and esoteric doctrines — explored in all their forms from popular traditions to the most refined interpretations.
Rationality remains the constant lens through which the exhibition is presented, with dedicated sections demonstrating how to simulate and recognise fraudulent supernatural phenomena, as well as scientific experiments and devices created by renowned researchers attempting to contact parallel dimensions and the unknown — including the afterlife.
On display are artefacts linked to ritualistic crimes committed by criminal religious sects, along with an analysis of how esotericism and the supernatural have inspired films, fictional characters, bestselling books and iconic music.
The experience closes with the eternal question that has always haunted humanity: Is there something after death?
And that will not be the only question you take away with you.
In collaboration with Italmostre and Fever.
