Description
The Cosmopopicon looks into how our imagination has tried to depict the birth of the universe and the distant past. From the creation myths of the first human civilizations to contemporary fiction and what science taught us, it's cosmogony through science fiction, fantasy, myths and more. So, let's go and explore visions of how our universe came to be, using the lens of pop culture. Not for real, just for fun.
