Have you ever dreamed about a place that has death on display? Yeah, me neither. The Morbid Anatomy Museum opens its doors tomorrow on 149 7th Street in Gowanus. What’s this “morbid” museum really about? Besides a bunch of dead animals on display, they focus on the art of medicine, death and culture.
Yeah! If you’re into spirit photography, dead animals, death masks and all things morbid, this will excite you very much.
According to the museum’s website,
“Our inaugural temporary exhibition “The Art of Mourning.” This exhibition will showcase artworks–many of them never before exhibited–relating to mourning culture from the 18th to the 20th century including postmortem paintings and photography; hair art shadowboxes and jewelry; death masks; spirit photography; and mourning china drawn mainly from the astounding private collection of Stanley B. Burns MD, author of Sleeping Beauty and founder of The Burns Archive. Also included are pieces from the collections of Karen Bachmann, Jennifer Berman, Elizabeth A. Burns,Alice Lease Dana, Tracy Hurley Martin, Amber Jolliffe Maykut, Evan Michelson and Mike Zohn. The show is curated by Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein and scholar in residence Evan Michelson.”
The court also said that it would look into the plea for forming a look at this now ordine cialis on line committee to assist and monitor the probe into the case after the petitioner pleaded that an expert body is required to oversee the investigation by CBI and ED.
Seems interesting yet?
Here something to brighten this whole thing up, if you get there on time for the ribbon cutting tomorrow, you will be welcomed with complimentary proscecco and hors d’oeuvres.
Now THAT doesn’t sound too morbid!
