Time: 12 – 5 pm EDT
Admission: FREE

We invite you to get to know the new library at a free, drop-in open house this Saturday, September 18, from 12pm - 5pm. Morbid Anatomy Founder and Creative Director Joanna Ebenstein and Head Librarian Laetitia Barbier will be there in person and give impromptu tours of the collection. You will also have the opportunity to buy signed Morbid Anatomy books, tote bags, imported folk art, and more.

If you can't make it, don't despair: From this weekend on, The Morbid Anatomy Library will be open every Saturday from 12pm to 5pm. Entrance is free, and no appointment is necessary. For the safety of all, and in accordance with guidelines for cultural institutions, we ask visitors to please be vaccinated.

Founded in 2008, The Morbid Anatomy Library is a research library and collection making available hundreds of rare books, photographs, artworks, pieces of ephemera, and artifacts from around the world. Collection categories include art and death, death and society, the history of medicine, medical museums, anatomical art, "sexology," collectors and collecting, art and science, taxidermy, arcane media, and curiosity and curiosities broadly considered.

The address is 254 36th Street (between 3rd and 4th Ave), Building 2, Room B421 (map here).

We are located on the 4th floor of building 2, and pretty hard to find, so meet our volunteer docents every half hour in front of the elevator next to Ends Meat Butcher Shop.
