Amsterdam has its share of special museums: Sex museum, torture museum, etc. Add one more to that last, opened as of tomorrow: The Death Museum. Ok that is only a description of what it is about, the real name of the museum is the "Uitvaart Museum".

The website doesn't offer much in the way of description and the location sounds pretty special. Located several blocks east of Oosterpark, the building itself is built on a graveyard. It also includes a café which might be nice to stop in at for a drink.

The theme of the museum is death, how we treat death, and what that says about our past and present. There are several sub-themes that you'll have to discover for yourself, all of which relate to treatment of the dead.

As of tomorrow the museum is open for visitors and its normal hours will be Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 5pm.
