Museum of Witchcraft and Magic

An angry mob wrongly accuses a woman of being a witch in a scene from the classic comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. A dismal reality on plain show at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic, medieval superstitions were no laughing matter, despite the farce's use of usual Python-esque black humor.

The museum, which was founded in 1960 and is now home to the largest collection of items associated with witchcraft and the occult in the world, is situated in the charming seaport village of Boscastle in Cornwall, England. The museum also has displays on the early modern witch trials, which resulted in an estimated 50,000 people being burnt at the stake, the majority of them were women.
