The video “Unboxing Tarot Decks Through the Ages” from the Victoria and Albert Museum offers an accessible, visual journey through the fascinating history of tarot cards from their origins in 15th-century Italy to their vibrant presence in the modern world.
The journey concludes with contemporary tarot, like the Hexen 2.0 deck, which reimagines tarot through the lens of technology and 21st-century anxieties, showing how tarot continues to evolve as both an artistic and spiritual tool.
This video beautifully reveals how tarot cards blend art, history, mythology, and human curiosity, transforming from aristocratic games into tools for personal insight and universal symbolism.
