For more than 25 years Evan Michelson has been collecting, restoring and disseminating objects of esoteric and often enigmatic beauty. As co-owner of Obscura Antiques and Oddities (and owner of Obscura West), it has been her obsessive mission to rescue and repair objects that were once thought to be obsolete, ugly or without value, and give them a place to shine. Her current home has been her largest project: part cabinet of curiosities, part Bohemian shrine, part free-associative visual museum.

For this tour, exclusive for Morbid Anatomy Online Journal Patreon members at the 10$/mo and above level, Evan will share a few of her favorite pieces and a few of the stories they have to tell. She will also be available for a meet in greet, in which she will be delighted to answer any questions you might have.

Evan Michelson is an antiques dealer, collector, lecturer and award-winning curator. She was co-owner of New York City’s iconic Obscura Antiques and Oddities for 24 years, and co-star of the popular TV series “Oddities” which ran for five seasons on Discovery Science. Evan helped spearhead the reintroduction of cabinets of curiosity to the culture at large, and she has long been at the forefront of death culture and the melancholy sublime.

As Morbid Anatomy Scholar-in-Residence Evan has lectured widely on such subjects as the history of gothic culture and the enigmatic Saddest Object in the World. These days she is still on the road, accumulating esoteric objects and stories to tell. Evan is currently the owner of Obscura West, located in Lambertville, NJ.
