Morbid Anatomy
The Morbid Anatomy Library is a research library and private collection open to the interested public. An outgrowth of the popular Morbid Anatomy Blog, it makes available a collection of books, photographs, ephemera, and artifacts relating to medical museums, anatomical art, collectors and collecting, cabinets of curiosity, the history of medicine, death and mortality, memorial practice, art and natural history, arcane media, and other topics explored on the blog.
The library is open by appointment; email morbidanatomy@gmail.com to schedule a visit. The library is located at 543 Union Street and can be entered by buzzing 1E or via the alleyway entrance to Proteus Gowanus.
You can find out more about the library in this recent article in Timeout magazine and view the collection in this recent television clip. You can visit the Morbid Anatomy blog at http://morbidanatomy.blogspot.com.
