Kutna Hora - Sedlec Ossuary

Just out of Prague is Kutna Hora. A really nice town with not too much going on. So it is a pretty cool place to come and visit - and the bonus is (apart from saying goodbye to tourists) is you get to visit the Sedlic Ossuary. This place is special for being a chapel that contains 40,000 bodies which are on display. The difference between this place and the catacombs we visited is decoration - In the 18th century the job was given to a woodcarver to arrange and order the bones somehow. He decided to build a few displays such as;
A chandelier that contained every bone found in the human body.. . hey, how about I just show you what he did.
