And by means of the stars
(people) are guided"
وَعَلَمَاتٍ وَبِالنَّجْمِ هُمْ يَهْتَدُونَ
Quran, An Nahl 16.16
The term "Magos" means “the wise one" according to Eastern traditions. In ancient Persian it stands for “the one who can do" and according to the Ancient Greeks it means “scholar, expert”. The Latin derivative "Magis" is synonymous with enlightened judgment and characterizes a masterful way of thinking which enables one to act well.
THE 'WISE' AS
INSPIRATIONAL FIGURES
The Magos Foundation aims to offer an open invitation to discover and follow the roads of wisdom. By offering to embark on scintillating historical as well as contemporary journeys, its overarching ambition is to act on one of the foremost challenges of our time: intercultural dialogue. At the heart of the foundation is an art collection, dedicated to the great sages of our common human history, uniquely related to “The Peoples of the Book”, in addition to kings of the East renowned for their support for peaceful coexistence. The unique and vast collection pivots around one of the greatest stories of all: the tale of the Three Kings of the East, told and retold for centuries, mesmerizing children and adults alike. Who were these illustrious “Magi”, these “Three Wise Men” Gaspard, Balthazar and Melchior, and what did they really stand for?
