Würzburg Witch Trials: Exhibition
Project type
Exhibition design
Date
October 2023
Location
Melbourne
This exhibition uncovers a lesser-known story from Würzburg, Germany, during Europe’s witch hysteria. While many are aware of the Salem trials, few know the tragedy that unfolded in this quiet town, where fear led to the mass execution of thousands.
The exhibition traces this descent, starting with a woman's illness that sparked accusations of witchcraft, and shows how paranoia spiralled out of control. It uses clear information, striking visuals, and interactive elements to immerse visitors in the fear of the time, highlighting how unchecked power and fear devastated the community. Bold design choices create a compelling experience that brings Würzburg's dark past to life.
