No human society has ever existed without faith.
Claiming that belief is a key aspect of human behaviour, this exhibition explores not only the mystical and sociological aspects of belief, but also the innate neurological and psychological triggers such as anxiety, marriage, conflict and death.
The current special exhibition at the British Museum, Living With Gods: people, places and worlds beyond, broaches this phenomenon through an exploration of the practice and expression of human beliefs.

For this autumn exhibition, The British Museum has adopted an innovative approach to the design and special effects. To intensify the visual experience, the exhibition will project the sounds, music and silence associated with the religious practices presented.
If Scythians: warriors of ancient Siberia is anything to go by, we are in for a treat!
This exhibition is accompanied by a BBC Radio 4 series, which will be broadcast from 23 October 2017, and Living with the Gods, written by Neil MacGregor.
