The Morbid Anatomy Museum is a nonprofit exhibition space founded by Joanna Ebenstein, Tracy Hurley Martin and her sister, writer Tonya Hurley, in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The museum is an expansion of Ebenstein's long-running project, the Morbid Anatomy Library and blog and draws heavily on her experiences with the art groups Observatory and Proteus Gowanus.〔(Morbid Anatomy ) blog〕 The museum building includes a lecture and event space, a cafe and a store. Ebenstein is a member of The Order of the Good Death. The museum is located at 424a Third Avenue in Brooklyn, a former nightclub building the interior of which was re-modeled by architects Robert Kirkbride and Tony Cohn in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tackmag.com/interview-robert-kirkbride-on-architecture-and-design/ )〕 In Ebenstein's words, the new space is designed in order to give a home for a "regular lecture series and DIY intellectual salon that brings together artists, writers, curators and passionate amateurs dedicated to ... 'the things that fall through the cracks.'" The space focuses on forgotten or neglected histories through exhibitions, education and public programming. Themes include nature, death and society, anatomy, medicine, arcane media, and curiosity and curiosities broadly considered. The artifacts featured in its rotating exhibitions are drawn from private collections and museums' storage spaces. ==See also== *Cabinet of curiosities *Dime museum 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Morbid Anatomy Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
