"Even if you're not very into morbid material, this was a fantastic visit. The staff was so kind, I spoke with Charlotte and Melissa and they were so helpful and sweet. Cool location as well!"
"Tybalt was incredibly helpful in navigating the bizarre doorbell system, and also welcoming me to the space on my first solo visit, but also on bringing my partner and several others that had confessed to having struggled to find the space in and making us feel welcomed. They’re an incredible asset to the space, which is the most well-curated library room I’ve ever entered and a space I plan to make weekly visits to, and I straight up don’t know how I’d even manage to get into it without them. (Given the weird doorbell nonsense)"
"The only way to access the Anatomy library is through paid entrance fee for the museum. Lapin and I came here one Saturday as we found a Groupon discount and thought it would be a nice way to spend the day. We would been lucky to have spend more than 30 minutes at this museum. It was two small rooms [one is considered the exhibit room and the other is the library] that was filled with mostly photographs and here there hodge podge items. The most interesting thing was the persevered specimens but they weren't labelled. Honestly, this museum [if it should even be called that] was a waste of time and money. If you really wanted to read or see morbid anatomy, save yourselves the effort and time and just utilize Google."
"This is a must-visit for those with quirkier interests or if you have friends in town looking for random attractions. The $10 admission to the exhibit upstairs is a bit pricey (and no photos are allowed), so be sure you're into the exhibit before forking over the money. Otherwise, you can get lost in the library downstairs, checking out various pieces of taxidermy, cool books and chatting with the person at the register. They also offer taxidermy classes in the basement which are not open to being observed by the public, but I was told they sell out very quickly."
"There is very little to see here for the 10$ admission fee. You're greeted by the one room that actually feels like a museum with very nice displays of various photographs and art pieces either depicting or inspired by death. The next room is smaller and contains many curios and oddities, this is the reading room. However nice things were it was in no way worth the money. Similarly the gift shop is filled with overpriced animal skeletons, books, and other things you can find online for much cheaper. If you're planning on going here make sure it's for an event they're having otherwise you might be let down by how little substance there is."
