Morbid Anatomy at Philadelphia's Wagner Free Institute: Outsider Perspectives with Guest Curators Joanna Ebenstein and Evan Michelson

For those in the greater Philadelphia area: next Thursday, May 22, Joanna Ebenstein (founder of Morbid Anatomy) and Evan Michelson (Morbid Anatomy Library Scholar in Residence and Co-Star of Science Channel's "Oddities") will be presenting illustrated talks as "guest curators" at one of our very favorite gems of untouched Natural History: The Wagner Free Institute!

The lecture is free (!!!) and will take place in the Wagner's time-travelingly incredible 19th century lecture theatre complete with dusty specimens, magic lantern projector, and antique wooden chairs. The talks will be followed by a wine reception in the museum for only $10 You can order tickets by clicking here.

What, I respectfully ask, could be better than wine among the specimens?

Hope very much to see you there!

Tonight, please join Morbid Anatomy for a special night at one of our favorite museums of all time--The Wagner Free Institute in Philadelphia! For this event, Joanna Ebenstein (Morbid Anatomy founder) and Evan Michelson (Science Channel's "Oddities") have been invited to be guest curators, and, as such, will each give a short, illustrated talk on a few of their favorite artifacts in the Wagner's untouched 19th century collection. Best of all, the talk will take place in one of our favorite spaces ever: the Wagner's time-travelingly incredible 19th century lecture theatre complete with dusty specimens, magic lantern projector, and antique wooden chairs.

Following the presentation, the Wagner's Annual Member Reception will take place upstairs in the museum with finger food, drinks, and a chance to view highlighted specimens. The Member Reception is only one of the great benefits of becoming a friend of the Institute. Guests of members may attend the reception for $10.
