Cryogenic Compartment IX

Cryogenic Compartment

Almost secretly embedded in the heart of Vienna, beneath the Capuchin Church, lies the Capuchins’ Crypt: a burial chamber entombing the mortal remains of 150 members of the House of Habsburg.

‘I Came Back Haunted’

The tomb conjures the image of an ancient Cryogenic Compartment for deep space travellers bound for the outer reaches of our galaxy.

Hibernating enveloped in silence within their dark coffins, vaults and sarcophagi—adorned with guardian angels and skulls—the empresses and emperors await their awakening to continue their royal mission …

All images are published with the kind permission of the Capuchins' Crypt in Vienna.
