Food & drink

Their advice for the Chapel of Bones, built from the remains of roughly 5,000 people: dress modestly as you would for any church, and expect the space to feel brighter and more reflective than macabre, since the airy setting encourages contemplation rather than the fear the subject matter might suggest.
