New Place To Visit: "Museum of Mourning Art" Arlington Cemetary , Philadelphia

Just when I thought I knew everything about the Philly area. Bam! I found this! And I thought I would pass this along to you guys.
This museum is in Drexel Hill, PA at the Toppitzer Funeral Home, opened 1990. A huge estate that looks a little like Washington's Mt. Vernon home in VA. This is great for all you "oddities" fans.
There's a great article that is a "must read" that I will link you the website about this museum. Me? I'm planning a visit. This is something I most def have to see!
