About the experience

What can I expect from the event?

Dark Secrets is an immersive exhibition exploring the hidden worlds of esotericism, occult sciences, supernatural phenomena, and popular beliefs. Structured into 27 thematic sections, it blends history, science, and spirituality through rare artifacts, testimonies, and mysterious questions.

The exhibition showcases over 1,000 original objects, including:

The largest collection of cursed dolls ever displayed in Europe.

Authentic voodoo fetishes and magical ritual tools.

Artifacts of Aleister Crowley, such as his ceremonial staff and original documents.

19th-century Tibetan ritual masks and 18th-century papal missals.

Each space immerses visitors in a confrontation of symbols, superstitions, dogmas, and revelations, culminating in a reflective journey that questions:

The existence of life beyond death.

The truths hidden within rites, miracles, myths, legends, and ritual practices that have shaped human imagination.
