Bestattungsmuseum (Funeral Museum)
Description
The Funeral Museum at Vienna's Central Cemetery takes families on a gentle, modern, and interactive journey through funeral culture and mourning rituals. 🕯️👨👩👧
In about 30 stations, around 250 exhibits, photographs and videos illustrate the development from the late 18th century to today. Particularly attractive are the interactive elements and the tours prepared specifically for children for schools and groups – surprisingly informative and sensitively designed. ⚙️
Recommended for children from about 6 years old; age groups: 6–10, 10–12 and 12+. A visit can easily be combined with a long walk on the Central Cemetery and discovering famous monuments. 🌿
