I've always loved the 'natural world' interests of the Victorian era- taxidermy, animal skeletons, anatomical sketches, death masks, Barnum's 'freaks' and mysteries and phrenology.

There is a site called Morbid Anatomy which pretty much exhibits all of these to the public. Has anyone been to see these? I'm in Australia, so I haven't been able to go myself.
There's also the blog, which shows more- Morbid Anatomy blogspot

Morbid?
This s**t is pansy.
You know what was morbid?
Peter The Great in Russia.
Took up the practice of dentistry, so he "practiced" on his court members.
Then he took up being a mortician, so he made his court members eat little pieces of the corpse so he could study the effects.

You want morbid?
Look up ANY of the stuff the Nazis did to the Jewish in concentration camps to "further science". Look at the Japanese POW camps, specifically Unit 751.

Oh hey this stuff isn't nearly as fascinating when it doesn't fit into your little "gothic" scheme is it?

You don't have to be a douchebag just because you disagree with a name.

Spooky's trying to start a discussion on the oddities of the Victorian Age, not World War 3. Chill. stare

I haven't been to this exhibit specifically, but the college I went to had been an old Tuberculosis hospital back 100 years ago, and so they had a bunch of those kind of things on display in the nursing hospital.
I would walk by them about once a week for classes, never really thought about them much, but they are interesting.

I like her work, and her aesthetic is interesting. Her found objects are fascinating, but I kinda wish everything she did didn't just look like she arranged a few items and then put it up for display. Despite this, I keep going back to her web page to look at the works.

If anyone wants anything from her, she has an etsy page. http://www.etsy.com/shop/morbidanatomyart

Isn't taxidermy great? I'd love to see a taxidermy exhibition! Hopefully one day you can travel and see all the dead animals you can!

That's really interesting! Does the college's website have any pictures of their displays?

I know what you mean, they all look pretty similar.
Thanks for the link, I didn't even know she sold them!
