Alchemy, astrology, demonology, Spiritism, Theosopy, schamanism...the occult sciences, excluded or persecuted for centuries, found in the visual arts the ideal terrain for transmitting their coded messages.
Curated by Guillermo Solana, this exhibition brings together around 59 works from the Thyssen-Bornemisza collections (both the museum’s permanent collection and the private collections of various members of the Thyssen-Bornemisza family) which reveal documented traces of the occult.
