The exhibition 'Lumen: The Art and Science of Light' showcases how medieval thinkers transformed art and ideas with new scientific understandings of light between 800 and 1600.
Far from a 'dark age,' the exhibition reveals a medieval period bursting with academic inquiry into light, influencing both scientific and artistic communities profoundly.
This exhibition comprises over 100 works, including religious objects, illuminated manuscripts, and scientific instruments like astrolabes, illustrating light's significance during the medieval period.
'Lumen' also connects the past to the present by incorporating contemporary artists who explore and challenge our perceptions of light, enhancing viewer experiences.
