Museum für Sepulkralkultur

The museum itself is interesting, we went last year for the museum night and there were a few creepy things, interesting though. This year we went for the Dia de los Muertos fest and this chaged completly the enviroment of the place, with colour decorations, mariachis and typical Mexican food, colourfull altares. Trully another vision of this moment to come, more aceptance and to see it woth a different eyes.

A wonderful place with a very specific yet natural theme: death. Whether Christianity or Islam, many details and stories give you a truly wonderful insight. There's also a library and children's books on the subject. In terms of culture, I would have liked to see more diversity from the distant countries.

Never expected such a mueseum exist for death and Rituals. Very informative. English Translation exists but not everywhere. Still worth a visit. Special exhibition on suicide Was good too.

Great museum / gallery. The suicide exhibition was very powerful. I'll be sure to return for other events. Thank you for the thoughtful display. Beautiful views, nice layout, quiet and comfortable. Discounts available for students for some events so be sure to look into that before going.

I honestly was a bit disappointed in this museum. I think they could do so much more with the topic. Besides a few interesting artifacts, much of it was what you can see in the various cathedrals and other religious sites around Germany. Also, the artifact descriptions were not in English, either (though general signs for each area were). The museum is slated to relocate in the coming years and they are asking for suggestions. I gave some! ;)

I loved this museum! I visited during Documenta 15, so my impression is colored by the additional temporary exhibits. It's on the smaller side and quite divers in regards to the passing rites and beliefs, super visuals, no grotesque depictions. A highlight is the Café. Don't miss having a cup next to a coffin and hearse. Memento mori , indeed!

A wonderful museum. Very glad to not have missed this one while visiting Kassel.

A nice museum with a lot of information about how dead people were- and are, handled through the years and in different areas/religion. A little bit hard to take in but the historic aspect is amazing. One of the positive sides was the staff who were eager to talk about the exhibition. And I recommend Google lens for translation of info. 🙂
