The Viennese preoccupation with death rites finds expression in this unique museum, showcasing such curious items (many resulting from frugality) as the "Flap coffin" of the time of Emperor Joseph II, so named for the flap on its underside, making it reusable.
With around 1000 exhibits, the Vienna Funeral Museum gives a comprehensive overview of funeral customs, burial rites, and the special Viennese perspective on death.
The Vienna Funeral Museum is currently closed. It will be reopened in September 2014 at Vienna's Central Cemetery.
