Join us for a very special evening at a private estate filled with exotic taxidermied—and live!—animals in upstate New York! Natural history enthusiast and author Josh Powe will welcome us into his private taxidermy collection, believed to be the largest of its kind in the United States, and filled with thousands of antique specimens including extinct and unusual animals, Victorian anthropomorphic dioramas and pets, and "freak" domestic animals. The night will culminate with a decadent Roman-inspired feast centered on exotic game (with vegetarian options for the less carnivorous) along with plentiful libation and entertainment, followed by a rousing game of “zoo-lette” (taxidermy roulette) where you will have a chance to go home with pieces from our host’s collection. A lucky few will stay for an after-party sleepover, followed by a champagne brunch and a tour of an unnamed “mystery collection” the following day.

All proceeds support Morbid Anatomy’s mission and our transition to a 501(c)(3) non-profit institution, and tickets and donations over $1,000 are tax deductible.
