MAGT OG MAGI - The Ruins under Christiansborg Palace 2024/25

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.

​

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.

​

The exhibition Might & magic was created in collaboration with the Reumert Award-winning set designer Ditte Marie Walter Tygesen and experts from the HEX! Museum of Witch Hunt in Ribe.

The exhibition is not recommended for children under the age of 10.
