Drop-in activities at Morbid Anatomy Library & Gift Shop
Come celebrate the Day of the Dead at Morbid Anatomy! We will gather in the spirit of the day to commune, tell stories, and indulge our memories.
Activities from 1 - 3pm
Lauren Seeley — death care worker and death literacy advocate will lead a drop-in crafting activity: create a picture frame for your own offrenda.
Joel Schlemowitz — Magic lantern showman extraordinaire and professor of film studies at The New School - will give tours of the scale model mini replica of our three story museum building in Gowanus now onsite in the library. Faithful to every element of the physical building that stood on the corner of 3rd Ave and 7th Street, the mini museum is a masterful recreation of our day to day operations; from our (in)famous exhibits to the cups and cookies in the cafe all in miniature. Tours of the mini museum will begin on the hour and half hour from 1 - 3pm.
Come browse the Morbid Anatomy Library, which houses hundreds of books and artifacts for your edification and pleasure. Take in the wonder and fascination of our new permanent collection of victorian hair art donated to us by Leila’s Hair Museum.
The Morbid Anatomy Library can be found as part of the Industry City complex in Sunset Park. Take the D/N/R subway lines and exit at 36th Street. The Library is located at 254 36th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11232 on the second floor. Use the stairwell or elevators next to Jus by Julie and diagonally across from Glow Hair Salon on the ground floor. You will find us in room C251 on the 2nd floor from 12-5pm, Saturdays and Sundays.
