The exhibition is dedicated to the human need to interpret uncertainties and find guidance. It sheds light on the centuries-old practice of reading signs in the world—whether in the flight of birds, in the clouds, or today in data streams. Selected pieces from the museum’s collections—ranging from ancient artifacts and natural history exhibits to works of art—attest to the diverse methods people have used for millennia in their attempts to interpret the future and find guidance amidst uncertainty. Who do we trust? Who do we listen to when we search for answers?
