Curator's Tour: The Colour black in Death and Mourning

The Colour Black in Death and Mourning. With Curator Dr. Ulrike Neurath

The Museum for Sepulchral Culture pleased to once again offer public curator tours on the last Wednesday of every month from January 2025.

The colour black has been associated with mourning and loss for centuries. It symbolises the darkness that comes with the loss of a loved one and stands for the end of a life. Why do mourners often wear black clothing? What was the significance of marking the body in the past and today? Our curator provides answers.

Only the museum entrance fee of 8 / reduced 5 € applies. The tour is free of charge.
