The exhibition Unknown Alphabet is about Siv Bugge Vatne's (b. 1974) attempt to solve the Voynich mystery. The Voynich manuscript is a magical or scientific manuscript from the first half of the 15th century that is written in an unknown alphabet that no one has been able to decode. The 240 pages of the manuscript contain freehand drawings of plants and cosmological diagrams, which no one has been able to identify with certainty or place in a known tradition.
