Unique in Germany, the museum, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, displays a wide range of sepulchral objects such as shrouds, coffins, carriages or traditional costumes. The changing, thematic special exhibitions complement and expand the range of exhibits.
Death and dying are part of life

If death is what ultimately reveals what life truly is, then this museum is also a museum of life.

The permanent exhibition showcases how practices related to the “last things” have evolved. These include burial and mourning rites as well as special customs, but also artistic perspectives on life and death. The museum’s collection focuses on Central Europe from the late Middle Ages to the present.
