5 - 8 pm EST (NYC time)
LOCATION: Industry City, Building 2, Suite C251
(Industry City is located at 254 36th Street, Brooklyn NY 11232)
After months of closure, Morbid Anatomy reopens its doors with a new permanent exhibition exploring memory, grief, and the strange beauty that emerges from our desire to keep the dead close.
Join us for the grand reopening of our library and exhibition space, and be among the first—drink in hand—to encounter our new installation centered on a remarkable donation of exquisite works from Leila Cohoon’s Hair Museum of Independence, Missouri.
This special evening we will celebrate the arrival of nearly fifty extraordinary pieces from Cohoon’s collection of over 3,000 works, assembled over a lifetime devoted to preserving this nearly lost art form. Cohoon’s granddaughter, Lindsay Evans—whose generosity made this gift possible—will be present to share insights into her grandmother’s life and legacy during a guided tour of the collection.
Once a widespread mourning practice and cherished domestic craft, the intricate art of hair weaving—encompassing portraits and memorial tableaux honoring the dead—is revived here at Morbid Anatomy.
Come explore our newly reopened space, experience the collection up close, and celebrate this next chapter with fellow lovers of the curious, the beautiful, and the macabre.
