The Morgue as a Muse: Art, Aesthetics, and the Anonymous Dead: A Live, Online Illustrated Lecture by Historian and Photographer Catriona Byers

Admission: $8 - Tickets and more info HERE

We think of morgues as discreet medical spaces, but they have also inspired artists for over two centuries. This talk will delve into the complex relationship between the morgue as an institution, and the artistic, creative and aesthetic output it has stimulated while looking at the ethical, moral and legal dilemmas that emerge from using the anonymous dead as a muse.
