Intro
The trial of Anna Göldi takes center stage
The modern, newly designed museum is dedicated to the tragic fate of the maid Anna Göldi, executed by the sword in 1782, and traces the stages of her life. At the center of the exhibition is the incomparably well-documented trial, namely the detailed torture protocols. Around it, visitors are led from one thematic island to another: Witch mania, network of power, enlightenment, journalism, culture of remembrance, rehabilitation.
With a varied, committed program, the museum takes up current topics - mainly in the area of human rights - and thus spans an arc to the present day. In addition to various individual events, the program regularly includes remarkable special exhibitions, some of which feature internationally renowned artists and cultural figures.
The museum is housed in the historically unique and impressive Hänggiturm. The term "tower" is misleading. In reality, the exhibition room is a huge, fantastic, almost sacral hall, in which the printed fabric was hung to dry in the heyday of the Glarus textile industry. The museum is located in the district of Ennenda and can be reached on foot from the two train stations Glarus or Ennenda in fifteen minutes.
