Anna Göldi Museum – alle Menschen sind vor dem Gesetz gleich

이 장소에 대해

The museum, which opened in 2017, is dedicated to the tragic fate of the maid Anna Göldi, who was executed by the sword in 1782, and traces the stages of her life. At the heart of the exhibition is the incomparably well-documented trial, in particular the detailed court records. Based on this, visitors are guided from one themed island to another: Witch mania, network of power, enlightenment, journalism, culture of remembrance, rehabilitation. Temporary exhibition 2024: "Colorful cloths, shared stories - In the footsteps of King Cotton" Based on a series of headscarves that were produced in Glarus for the African trade, the temporary exhibition focuses on textile production as the subject of a history that has been shared worldwide since the 18th century. It not only takes us back to Anna Göldi's time, which was characterized by social upheaval, but also right into the heart of the current human rights debate. With a diverse and engaging program, the museum takes up current topics - especially in the area of human rights - and thus spans an arc into the present. The modern museum is housed in the historically unique and impressive Hängg Tower. Although the term "tower" is misleading. In reality, the exhibition room is a huge, fantastic, almost sacred-looking hall in which printed lengths of fabric were hung to dry during the heyday of the Glarus textile industry. The museum is located in the district of Ennenda and can be reached on foot from Ennenda railroad station in about 10 minutes and from Glarus railroad station in about 15 minutes. From April to October, there is a public guided tour of the permanent exhibition for individuals on the first Sunday of each month at 1.45 pm. Participation in the guided tour is included in the admission fee. Guided tours for groups are possible all year round by appointment.
