Make sure you ask questions, some of the people there have a lot of background knowledge to share. I thoughthink the taxidermy and artifacta/trinkets were a lot better than the wax molds.

About Morbid Anatomy Museum
Skulls and skeletons and preserved body parts make for quite the macabre celebration. Yet the exhibits at Morbid Anatomy Museum are designed to do just that: explore the intersection of death and beauty and celebrate the ways people have historically coped with death, whether through taxidermy, photographs, or paintings crafted from human hair.
Size: 4,200 square feet of regularly changing exhibits
The Collection: dedicated to artwork, scholarly work, and "curiosities" related to death and mourning, including Victorian-era death masks, wax embryological models, Day of the Dead skulls, and skeletons under glass
Scholars in Residence: Evan Michelson of Science Channel's Oddities and Salvador Olguín, whose research focuses on the culture around death and grieving in Mexico
Don't Miss: regularly scheduled (and often sold-out) lectures and mixed-media presentations from experts on obscure aspects of the death and grief process
Take a Break: the museum also houses a full-service coffee bar, featuring locally roasted brews and locally made pastries
Special Programs: classes and workshops focusing on topics such as the Victorian art of hair jewelry or tableau taxidermy
From the Press: CNN named the space one of its "Seven Gross Wonders Across America"; founder Joanna Ebenstein was featured in Newsweek's "Garage-Sale Ghouls: America's Creepiest Finds"
