The cemetery, for all its creepiness and mystery, is actually a fascinating place to uncover incredible art, surprising architectural finds, and a rich and varied history. In this provocative and edgy series, we travel from Paris to New Orleans, New York to London, Hollywood and beyond exploring some of the world’s most interesting and visually compelling cemeteries. We uncover fascinating, often scandalous, tales of the graveyard’s residents, plus curious angles, quirky traits, and, first and foremost- artistic appeal.
