Just standing next to the mannequins of Snape and Voldemort put you right into the scene. All of the mannequins are positioned similar to the way their characters were in this scene (you can see a distressed looking Lucius Malfoy in the center of the shot)
Watercolour
by Thomas Rowlandson
Rowlandson's watercolour offers a satrical view of the execution crowd, but a realistic representation of the gallows execution method. The condemned stood on a cart while nooses were tied to the crossbeam above. Having said their final prayers, the cart was slowly drawn away to leave the condemned suspended by the neck.*

Executions
(October 2022 – April 2023)
Exploring how public executions shaped Londoners’ lives and the city’s landscape in a major exhibition.
Public executions were a major part of Londoners’ lives for centuries.
From Smithfield to Southwark, from Banqueting House to Newgate Prison, executions became embedded in London’s landscape from the 12th century right through to the 19th. Even today, hints of this uncomfortable past can still be seen across the capital.
The Museum of London Docklands brought the rarely told and often tragic human stories behind these events to a new exhibition. Executions showcased a range of fascinating objects, paintings and projections, including the vest said to have been worn by King Charles I when he was executed, a recreation of the Tyburn gallows with an immersive projection, last letters of the condemned, and much more. Many of the items on display had rarely been seen in public.

The "E" on the building to the right is a reminder of the past: The E stands for Execution Dock where pirates like Captain Kidd were hung in 1701 and his body displayed in chains. Seen during a boat ride from Greenwich to Tower Pier.

The Camp Vught National Memorial is located on part of the former SS camp Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch, also known as Camp Vught (January 1943 – September 1944).
The museum is spread out over several buildings and outdoor areas. A model of the camp, made of natural stone, shows the extensive size of the camp and the many buildings it included. The watchtowers, which were built a hundred meters apart, have been reconstructed. The barrack, rebuilt at half the original size, shows how the prisoners lived. The Children’s Memorial lists the names and ages of the 1,269 Jewish children who were deported in June 1943. There is also a crematorium, where the bodies of prisoners who died or were executed at the camp were burned. The Execution Area is located in the woods, at about a 15-minute walk from the museum. A memorial has been erected here that displays the names of the 329 prisoners who were executed at this site.
