Once Upon a Sign: The Magic of Story and Divination

Next date: Friday, 21 November 2025 | 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM

EXHIBITION: What if a card, a teacup, or a single, shimmering word could tell your story? Once Upon a Sign: The Magic of Story and Divination invites you to wander through a realm where fables and fortunes are spun from the very same thread. Peek into the worlds of tarot, palmistry, tea-leaf reading, and other mystical traditions, each brimming with symbols that whisper secrets to those who care to listen.

At the heart of the journey is Mary Poppins creator P.L. Travers: a collector of myths, a seeker of symbols, and a teller of truths wrapped in magic. Discover how her characters echo the timeless archetypes of the tarot, and how centuries of mystical traditions have been used to read the past, the present… and perhaps the future.

Whether you arrive hand-in-hand with little ones or in the company of your own inner child, this is a place to wonder, to imagine, and to find your own meaning in the marvellous signs all around you.

If you're sensitive to supernatural themes or prefer to keep your feet firmly in the ordinary world, you’re welcome to skip the gallery and this exhibition.
