Objects around farewell
Coffins, rituals or remembrance objects gain meaning through faith, time and community. Compare two customs and avoid presenting one tradition as the Dutch standard.
Art and loss
Temporary exhibitions give artists space to approach death and mourning. Read the personal or social context and distinguish an artistic representation from a historical document.
A museum in a cemetery
Its location behind the monumental gate makes the outdoor space part of the visit. Walk respectfully, be considerate of funerals and do not see graves as an extension of the museum display without explanation.
