Exhibitions

This exhibition is part of the Salzburg Museum – Gastspiel (Guest Appearance), presented at the DomQuartier. It explores how the Peasants’ War was interpreted in the art and literature of later periods—and how authoritarian regimes in the twentieth century appropriated its imagery and ideals for their own propaganda. Taking the Salzburg Peasants’ War of 1525/26 as its point of departure, the exhibition traces the evolving representations of the theme up to the present day, revealing how artists have continually revisited and reimagined it in times of social and political transformation.
