This exhibition explores themes of paradise, mythology, and psychology, drawing parallels between biblical stories and the hero's journey as described by Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. Visitors are invited to reflect on personal transformation and the search for meaning through art and symbolic narratives.
The exhibition 'Aus dem Paradies' (From Paradise) examines the enduring human desire for an ideal state, drawing connections between biblical narratives, mythology, and psychological concepts. It is inspired by the theories of Carl Gustav Jung and Joseph Campbell, who viewed the external journey as a metaphor for an inner quest towards self-discovery and transformation. The exhibition guides visitors through a labyrinthine path, encouraging personal reflection on the artwork, symbolic stories, and archetypal figures encountered. Presented as a coproduction between the Bijbels Museum and Museum Krona, the exhibition features works by artists such as Juul Kraijer, Thomas Trum, Ralf Kokke, Wijnand de Vries, Nel Klaassen, Stan Klamer, Guus Schut, Lenneke Zoeteman, Anna Worrel, Salvador Dalí, and Guido van der Werve, among others. These artworks explore themes of displacement from paradise, the challenges of the unknown, the internal battles faced during transformation, and the eventual homecoming with newfound wisdom. The exhibition uses these artistic representations to illustrate the universal stages of the hero's journey, from departure and initiation to return and sharing of the 'inner treasure'.
