Historical Museum of Bern: Murder and manslaughter.

Axporama & Strom-Insel Beznau

An exhibition about life. Be it in the media, in movies or in literature, we always face real and fictional descriptions of capital crimes, which show the dark and taboo side of human activity.

On one hand, these stories satisfy our need for sensationalism. On the other, they raise a discussion about how to deal with murderers and killers, as well as the causes of crime. A life-affirming show about the value of life.
