Off with His Head: the 370th Anniversary of the Execution of Charles I, a pop-up exhibition at the Folger, took place on January 29 and 30, 2019, from 11am to 1pm each day in the Founder's Room. It was curated by Beth DeBold, Assistant Curator of Collections.

Off with His Head was a two-day pop-up focused on the events surrounding the conflicts that took place during the English Civil Wars (primarily the events of 1642-1649, although the civil wars continued through 1651). It was divided into two parts. The pop-up on January 29 focused on the Civil War conflicts themselves, and the pop-up on the 30th examined the actual trial and execution of the king.
