Capuchin Monks Enjoying the Afterlife

2017-02 / Brno, Czech Republic

I love the expressions on the faces of these mummies. It leads me to believe they had led very happy lives fulfilling their calling. It almost looks as though one is telling a joke; another is laughing; and the third doesn't understand the punchlines. I think many people look at this and find it creepy or unsettling, but I refuse to look at it that way.
