The Morbid Anatomy Museum is a nonprofit exhibition space founded by Joanna Ebenstein and Tracy Hurley Martin 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. Unlike many larger institutions, the museum's exhibition space is only one part of a larger enterprise that 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 ( of studio 'patafisico, and Tony Cohn, in 2014, with assistance from Aaron Beebe and contractors J.A. Jennings. 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 strives to bring to light forgotten or neglected histories through exhibitions, education and public programming. The artifacts featured in its rotating exhibitions are drawn from the rich, hidden worlds of private collections and museum back rooms.
