The theme of the dance of death exhibition has its roots in the plague that ravaged medieval Europe and saw a similar resurgence during the world wars of the 20th century. Many artists started to depict their experiences during this tragic time. The exhibition includes Melchior Grossek’s work showing cutouts, sketches, and prints that depict the figure of death in a prominent role during World War I. The artwork comes from a collection of 1000+ pieces and is considered some of the best from the famous priest.
