Curated by the Imagination of Nick Ervinck
In this new kind of MUSEION, a place where the nine Muses give inspiration free rein, I enter into a dialogue with traditional forms of art and architecture. Daughters of Mnemosyne, these Muses preserved ancient wisdom and knowledge, animating these precious gifts, again and again, creating new forms for them, designing new world views.
As in ancient times, this MUSEION displays a unique combination of art and science. Just as the 'Temple of the Muses' in Alexandria with its famous Library sought to understand the entire world at that time, my virtual MUSEION brings together a collection of artworks that ask intriguing questions to our recent history.
Nick Ervinck in dialogue with Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Hans Arp, Lyn Chadwick, Bernard Meadows, Francis Bacon, Auguste Rodin, Antoine Bourdelle, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Ernst Haeckel, H.R. Giger, Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon, Joep van Lieshout and Franz West.

Enhanced with African masks, rocks, shelves, bones, corals, fruit, toys and tree trunks.
