Propaganda. The theater of power at the beginning of the modern period

Description

The exhibition presents the fascinating world of propaganda at the beginning of modern times, when 16th-18th century Europe was transformed by religious conflicts, the rise of states, and new power strategies. Propaganda then became an essential tool for religious and secular elites to shape public opinion, consolidate authority, and build identity. Visitors will see how image, word, and spectacle—whether books, prints, paintings, or theater festivals—were transformed into effective means of persuasion. The "Theater of Power" exhibition will show that early modern propaganda was not just manipulation but also a tool for creating shared symbols and values whose echoes persist in European culture today.
