Museum Tot Zover

Amsterdam's unique museum about death becomes even more atmospheric after dark. Explore how different cultures around the world deal with mortality.

Museum Tot Zover — which translates roughly as 'Museum So Far' — is dedicated to death, dying, and what comes after. On Museum Night, the museum embraces its unique character with a programme that is simultaneously thought-provoking and strangely comforting. Guided tours explore funeral traditions from Mexico's Día de los Muertos to Japanese Buddhist ceremonies, while a special installation in the garden invites visitors to write messages to loved ones who have passed. A local spoken-word artist performs a set of poems about grief, loss, and memory in the candlelit main hall.
