- > Myths and Rituals
Mythology (or myths) and rituals are very important to many - if not most - cultures. For this theme collection we have drawn from the collections of Religious Studies, Philosophy, Anthropology, Sociology, Archaeology, History and Art History.
Immerse yourself - in stories, on canvas and on screen - in the world of godesses and gods, folk tales and mythical creatures, and ancient ceremonies.
