Tarot – Origins & Afterlives

Tarot – Origins & Afterlives, the inaugural international exhibition in our new Kythera Gallery, will open on 31 January 2025, running until 30 April 2025. This groundbreaking exhibition explores tarot’s remarkable evolution, tracing its journey from its origins as a 15th-century card game in Renaissance Italy to its profound transformations into tools for divination, artistic creation, and storytelling. The exhibition will present a historical overview of tarot, showcasing how it has been reimagined by artists, mystics, and writers over the centuries. Highlights include treasures from the Warburg’s own collections, many of which are being displayed for the first time, as well as significant loans from private and institutional archives. Exhibition is free to visit
