DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT\nThe Art of Grieving with the Traveling Museum of Memento Mori\nJoin us for a unique and thought-provoking event with local historian and author\, Amanda Woomer\, and curator of the Traveling Museum of Memento Mori. Amanda will share some history of the Victorian mourning era as well as the artwork that was created throughout this macabre period. Guests will then be able to peruse the exhibits of the traveling museum\, which features almost one hundred artifacts from the Victorian mourning period\, including post-mortem photos\, artwork and jewelry made from human hair\, women’s fashion\, funeral cards\, personal letters\, tear catchers\, spirit trumpets\, and more. Explore the artifacts as you think about your own mortality\, plan for your own death\, and face the reality of “memento mori”… someday we must die. \nCopies of Amanda’s books will be available to purchase with cash\, card\, or Venmo. \nPlease note that some of the topics and artifacts may be disturbing for some so discretion is advised. \nRegistration is required\, click here to reserve your spot.
