The Artefacts of Prediction: Imagining Tomorrow

From tarot cards to uranium glass, from paper dresses to futuristic games, The Artefacts of Prediction: Imagining Tomorrow explores how people from 1900 to the present have tried to glimpse, design, or control what comes next.

Drawing on objects from science, fashion, design, and popular culture, the exhibition reveals how ideas about the future often reflect the hopes, fears, and technologies of their own time.

Playful, reflective, and thought-provoking, the show invites visitors of all ages to consider what the act of prediction tells us about being human—and how our visions of tomorrow continue to shape the world today.
