One enterprising individual spent a night hidden inside one of the museum's ancient sarcophagi simply 'to demonstrate the possibility' of it being done.
The first, after 30 building focused images, captures an assembly of crosses followed in turn by four 'religious' scenes, clustering saints, sarcophagi, pulpits and so on.
The excavations for the foundations unearthed several archaeological finds, including some sarcophagi.
The visible 107 metal sarcophagi and five heart urns range in style from puritan plain to exuberant rococo.
Funerary art, such as relief sculpture on sarcophagi, sometimes showed scenes from the deceased's life, including birth or the first bath.
Inlays were produced to decorate wooden articles, furniture, chests, sarcophagi and jewellery in combination with other, often precious materials, such as gold leaf or ivory.
One is represented by sarcophagi, placed vertically and located in caves that were excavated at the highest point of precipices.
It is shaped like a basilica: two sarcophagi stand next to each other, with the third sarcophagus resting on their roof ridges.
