Free Online Talk · Stories From Leila's Hair Museum: Lindsay Evans Speaks About Her Grandmother's Collection

Morbid Anatomy welcomes special guest Lindsay Evans, granddaughter of Leila Cohoon of Leila’s Hair Museum. An iconic stop on the oddities scene, Leila’s collection included over 3,000 pieces of hair jewelry and wreaths from the Victorian Era. An example of beautiful craft, women’s work, memento mori, and the macabre, these delicate and striking pieces of art are being donated to Morbid Anatomy by Lindsay. Tonight she thinks back on her time with Leila and the amazing collection she built, and why she feels Morbid Anatomy is a spiritual resting place for these beautiful pieces.
