Might & Magic
Enter a spellbinding universe with voodoo-like wax children, curses and foretelling. Hear the mystical tales and experience what it was like to be accused of witchcraft and imprisoned at the royal palace.
Condemned as a witch at the royal palace
Exhibition experience
The history of Danish witchcraft is a tangled web of myths and mysteries. Now, three women accused of witchcraft – Maren Splids, Christenze Kruckow and Maren Ringsbjerg – are given a voice in the exhibition Might & Magic. Leading women actors bring their stores to life in a riveting audio track relating the fates of the three women in the setting of a spellbinding exhibition design.
Join us on a journey back to the Renaissance in the dark ruins under Christiansborg Palace, as we tell the story as it really was, in the place where it happened.
