Death Matters
Until 26 August 2012, Great Hall
Death Matters in the Tropenmuseum. Every day approximately 155,000 people die worldwide. Death is unavoidable, an inevitable part of life. Whether it's our own or the death of anyone around us. What role does the inevitable death play in our lives? And do we need new rituals?
In the Death matters exhibition you will discover how different people deal with death worldwide. You can emulate stories and experiences. Decide for yourself how you want to say farewell or how you want to grieve and remember.
“We hardly know what life is, how can we hope to understand death?” Confucius
