Spend your May with Morbid Anatomy in New York!

As spring approaches, we at Morbid Anatomy are coming out of our winter lairs and excited to have several opportunities to mingle in person out in the real world. Please help us celebrate and support our year’s activities, which feel ever more important for the year ahead.

May 2-4: Memento Mori Fest @ ARAS New York City. Join us for a weekend devoted to all things Memento Mori—Latin for "remember you will die"—as we celebrate Morbid Anatomy founder Joanna Ebenstein's new book Memento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life with two of our favorite New York cultural institutions—ARAS (Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism), devoted to Jungian image research—and The Green-Wood Cemetery, one of the finest 19th century garden cemeteries in the nation.

May 24: Spring Benefit, Patterson, New York. Join us this spring for an exclusive evening at a private estate filled with exotic live—and taxidermied—animals, hosted by Natural History enthusiast, author and collector Josh Powe of Instagram's weekly Taxidermy Auction and the soon-to-launch Permanent Record magazine. Over the past 15 years, Josh has accumulated a world-renowned collection of historically significant taxidermy by 19th century masters of the craft, and has curated multiple museum and gallery exhibits on the scientific and social aspects of Victorian taxidermy and the psychology of collecting.
