The amount of detail and decoration on these coffins is just amazing.
Very nice work

It took me a minute to notice it, but you can see what looks like a feminine face and hand near the right-hand side of the doorway into the blue room. I can also imagine seeing part of her dress in the little bit of sunlight streaming into the room from the opposite side of the wall.
Tricks of the mind, maybe?

It looks like it would make for a very soft (if itchy) final resting place
Beautiful pictures, as always!

And from then on, there were no more Three Bean Chili Fridays in the hospital cafeteria

Guess he got tired of his old job back at microsoft so he swivled over here to england for a little RnR

Those things look HEAVY! And what could have tipped the one in the very back over on its side like that?

Amazing! Compared to some of the other rooms here, this one's still in great shape, albiet a little messy.
The colors are just beautiful...

Thats a shame. I wonder if there are any pictures elsewhere on the web from when the building was still in use? Maybe we can see what the windows looked like. Im sure they were beautiful...

Beautiful! European architecture is just so amazing

boring wall, cheap tile, and with a sad 70's era attempt at brightening up the surroundings. the rainbow looks just as depressed as most of the inmates must have been. i can see why you shyed away from this part of the facility.

it looks like these floors are tile, so youd be less likely to fall through, i think. this is a beatiful room. im surprised the color has lasted so long. well done

im curious; was this another hydrotherapy tub like at danvers, or just a tub for bathing and stuff?

i know what the reality is, but try telling that to my subconcious. i admire this piece for its aestetic value, and i am aware of what these devices were used for. though it may seem like torture today, its treatments like hydrotherapy that led modern psychology and science to pursue the truth about how the body and the mind works and how to better treat it.
im a lot more historically sensitive to these sort of things than i may come off as at first. i was just expressing my personal thoughts that this particular image generated in me, and it did weird me out slightly.
i browse this place to learn about the historic value of these sites, not fantasize about knife wielding maniacs and insane freaks

yeeps...another blood tub!
what is with me and large amounts of human circulatory fluid spontaniously bursting from inanimate objects...
love ur work!

ive heard a couple legends about this place. like, one of the inhabitants was a devil worshiper and murdered everyone else.
i can believe they've torn everything down! this place was so cool...
