I've seen people make art out of almost everything, but out of human bones?
It's rather chilling to see flowers made out of the crania and pelvises and chandeliers out of ribs and skulls.
Near Prague, there is town called Kutna Hora. And one of their main attractions is church filled with art made from the from human skeletons. During the European Plague, the cemetery in Kutna Hora was overflowing with plague victims, so they stacked the bones of over 40,000 people in this cathedral. Then at some point, a monk thought to himself, "hmmm... what to do with with all these bones? Why not make art out of it!"
Is it creativity or insanity?
