Each year the museum acquires or commissions a piece of contemporary leatherwork to the Waterer Spiers Collection, set up in 1977 in memory of the museum’s founders and intended to inspire, nurture and celebrate contemporary leathercrafting. One of the pieces proposed for this collection is the ‘Prometheus’ Box, made by Tim Meagher in 1987. It is a series of one-off boxes loosely based on Greek mythology. Meagher had been designing and making leather bags, belts and luggage with his wife, using traditional saddlery and harness techniques, but wanted to start using the leather in a more imaginative way, to start expressing ideas and feelings.
Prometheus est un film de science-fiction américano-britannique produit et réalisé par Ridley Scott, sorti en 2012. Il met en scène, dans les rôles principaux, Noomi Rapace (Elizabeth Shaw), Michael Fassbender (David) et Charlize Theron (Meredith Vickers). L'action se déroule à la fin du XXIe siècle : l'équipage du vaisseau Prometheus, appartenant à la société Weyland, du nom du milliardaire qui l'a créée, part sous les ordres de ce dernier explorer le satellite naturel d'une planète lointaine, indiqué sur des pictogrammes archéologiques, dans l'espoir d'obtenir des réponses sur les origines de l'humanité ; les membres de l'équipage auront à faire face à un péril qui pourrait menacer l'espèce humaine.
Ce film était prévu à l'origine en tant que préquelle directe d’Alien, le huitième passager (1979), le deuxième long métrage de Ridley Scott. Cependant, le scénario de Prometheus s'est au fur et à mesure éloigné de la saga Alien, même s'il s'inspire beaucoup de celle-ci et se déroule dans le même univers. Il explique notamment les origines du Xénomorphe. Il sera relié à la saga Alien par sa suite, Alien: Covenant, sortie en 2017.
Synopsis et détails

Prometheus (/prəˈmiːθiəs/ prə-MEE-thee-əs) is a 2012 science fiction film directed by Ridley Scott, written by Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof and starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Logan Marshall-Green, and Charlize Theron. It is set in the late 21st century and centers on the crew of the spaceship Prometheus as it follows a star map discovered among the artifacts of several ancient Earth cultures. Seeking the origins of humanity, the crew arrives on a distant world and discovers a threat that could cause the extinction of the human species.
Development of the film began in the early 2000s as a fifth installment in the Alien franchise. Scott and director James Cameron developed ideas for a film that would serve as a prequel to Scott's 1979 science-fiction horror film Alien. By 2003, the development of Alien vs. Predator took precedence, and the project remained dormant until 2009 when Scott again showed interest. Spaihts wrote a script for a prequel to the events of the Alien films, but Scott opted for a different direction to avoid repeating cues from those films. In late 2010, Lindelof joined the project to rewrite Spaihts's script, and he and Scott developed a story that precedes the story of Alien but is not directly connected to that franchise. According to Scott, although the film shares "strands of Alien's DNA, so to speak", and takes place in the same universe, Prometheus explores its own mythology and ideas.

Paul Manship's highly recognizable bronze gilded statue of the Greek legend of the Titan Prometheus recumbent, bringing fire to mankind, features prominently in the sunken plaza at the front of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The model for Prometheus was Leonardo (Leon) Nole, and the inscription from Aeschylus, on the granite wall behind, reads: "Prometheus, teacher in every art, brought the fire that hath proved to mortals a means to mighty ends." Although some sources cite it as the fourth-most familiar statue in the United States, behind the Lincoln Memorial, Mount Rushmore and the Statue of Liberty, Manship was not particularly fond or proud of it.

普罗米修斯与智慧女神雅典娜共同创造了人类，并教会了人类很多知识。当时宙斯禁止人类用火，他看到人类生活的困苦，帮人类从奥林匹斯偷取了火，因此触怒宙斯。宙斯将他锁在高加索山的悬崖上，每天派一只鹰去吃他的肝，又让他的肝每天重新长上，使他日日承受被恶鹰啄食肝脏的痛苦。然而普罗米修斯始终坚毅不屈。几千年后，赫剌克勒斯为寻找金苹果来到悬崖边，把恶鹰射死，并让半人半马的肯陶洛斯族的喀戎来代替，解救了普罗米修斯。但他必须永远戴一只铁环，环上镶上一块高加索山上的石子，以便宙斯可以自豪地宣称他的仇敌仍然被锁在高加索山的悬崖上。
