Museum of Death
Source

The Museum of Death, located on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and New Orleans, was established in June 1995 by J. D. Healy and Catherine Shultz. The founders' stated goal for the museum is "to make people happy to be alive." This unique museum offers a different perspective on life and death, aiming to provide visitors with a deeper appreciation of their own lives.

Exhibits at the Museum of Death

The Museum of Death showcases a wide variety of art and artifacts related to the subject of death. Exhibits include baby coffins, letters and artwork from various serial killers, films about autopsies, explicit photographs of crime victims, and a room dedicated to taxidermy. The museum also features a recreation of the Heaven's Gate mass suicide, including the original beds. One of the most notable items on display is the head of Henri Landru.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    The Museum of Death in Los Angeles offers a straightforward look into the subject of death and mortality. Visitors often describe it as an intense and educational experience, though it may not be suitable for everyone due to its graphic content. The museum houses a diverse collection of artifacts related to death, including crime scene photos, serial killer memorabilia, and funeral industry displays. Many reviewers appreciate the museum's honest approach to a topic often considered taboo. However, some find the experience overwhelming or too morbid. The small space can feel cramped during busy times, and some exhibits may need updates or better organization. Despite its niche appeal, the museum provides a thought-provoking experience for those interested in the subject matter. Keep in mind that this attraction is not for the faint-hearted or those sensitive to disturbing imagery.
