Poisons frighten and fascinate us, whether they are a means of defense or power, a targeted or biological weapon, an environmental threat or a potential medical breakthrough. They have played many roles in history and culture, science and beliefs, medicine and criminology.

Presentation

Designed and curated by the Musée des Confluences in Lyon, France, and adapted by Musée de la civilisation, this interdisciplinary exhibition marries collections from the life and earth sciences and from the human sciences. Visual arts, documentaries, multimedia devices and living creatures come together to dialogue with ethnographic and natural science collections.
