from the linked article:

The exhibit is designed to recreate the experience of attending a papal funeral, with visitors guided through a series of hallways and rooms that each represent a different stage in the mourning process.

Well, this gives me a good excuse to get out of the 8 degree weather in Colorado! I'll go see anything where it's warm.
