Ossuary

The Ossuary in Kutna Hora was intriguing yet slightly disturbing. The place was filled with bones which had come from a mass grave that had been dug up because it was becoming too full. An artist decided to create an Momento Moiry, a tribute to death, out of these bones. He created chandeliers, walls, and other decor all out of human bones. This serves as a reminder that we too will succumb to death one day. While there I couldn't help but to think about how they would feel about where their bones ended up. Personally I think it would be kind of cool to be part of something like that. It's a form of art and it speaks to people, so in a way you are preserved in history.
