Humanorium - A Strange Carnival
Complete with tents, trailers, rides and a shooting gallery, HUMANORIUM harks back to 19th- and 20th-century carnivals, except all its attractions were created by contemporary artists. After a ride on the shopping-cart carousel, check out cabinets of curiosities packed with assorted sculptures, photographs and soundscapes. And don’t miss the bone-chilling Museum of Death. It’s part travelling exhibit, part freak show – and entirely sublime!
