We have many newly announced events this week, including a new date for a screening of Witchcraft Through the Ages (aka "Haxan, 1922) on 16mm with Polka on the Victrola; a historical walking tour entitled "Museums, Medicine, and Mesmerism;" and another walking tour devoted to H.P. Lovecraft. We also have lots of new taxidermy classes, a variety of wonderful illustrated lectures and pop-ups, and our first annual gala in taking place in the days and weeks to come!
Following is a full list of all upcoming events; hope to see you at one or more!
