A NATURAL HISTORY OF NOW
READ
THE
WORLD.
One object. One question. Then a path across philosophy, science, history, nature, and everyday life.
ENTER THE MUSEUM ↓A MUSEUM OF RELATIONSHIPS
The world is too interesting to rush through.
HOLOS 88 collects relationships: between an object and a memory, a public event and a private body, an old idea and the way we live now. You may enter through any window and leave by another.

FROM THE COLLECTION
MUSEUM
Begin with a thing: a tree, a horse, an anatomical plate, a card box. The object is not an illustration added afterward. It is the door.
