Description
Funeral Museum Vienna is an unusual museum located under a historic chapel in Vienna's Central Cemetery.
Discover more than 250 original exhibits, including a vintage hearse from 1900, ceremonial uniforms and a folding coffin used by Emperor Joseph II.
Interactive exhibits, such as a heartbeat meter and an emergency alarm clock (to prevent being buried alive), bring Vienna's death culture to life in a fascinating way.
Also unusual are the Lego models depicting a funeral - an unusual approach that reflects Vienna's characteristic theatrical approach to death.
