Do you believe in Magic? at Bristol Museum & Art Gallery

About

In line with Government guidance, Bristol Museum & Art Gallery will be closed from Wednesday 4 November. If you booked tickets for Wednesday or beyond, your booking has now been cancelled. For more information, please visit their website

This exhibition was due to finish during lockdown but has been extended to give visitors a second chance to see it. All visits must now be pre-booked. Find out more about Bristol Museum & Art Galleries' re-opening plans.

Magic is a fundamental part of the human experience which crosses time and cultures.

Bristol Museum & Art Gallery’s major winter exhibition, Do you believe in magic?  features over 200 fascinating objects and stories that reveal how magic has been used to heal, hunt and harm across the world.

Do you believe in magic? will introduce you to the lives of those who practise it, the objects that embody it and the beings that exist between the natural and the supernatural.

From ancient uses of witchcraft, to belief in the power of gods and ancestors, this exhibition explores the complex intersection between magic, science and religion.

Extraordinary artefacts have been carefully selected from the museum’s collections including European works of art, North American shamanic artefacts, magical animals, delicately preserved plants, beautiful clothing and spiritual figurines.

From Ancient Egyptian amulets and Mexican charms promising protection, to items collected from the altar of a practising witch, this exhibition will uncover new ways of understanding worlds beyond our own.

Do you believe in magic? is sponsored by InsideAsia Tours.
