Cripta dei Cappuccini (Crypt): Rome

This is a different and macabre way to display and see art -- human bones and skulls formed into intricate design patterns. 

“One of the most horrifying images in all of Christendom…” -Frommer's

There are bones and skulls everywhere - chandeliers, picture frames, wall art, etc.
