Brooklyn’s Morbid Anatomy Museum needs $75K to stay afloat

Brooklyn’s Morbid Anatomy Museum, the black corner building at Seventh Street and Third Avenue dedicated to the beauty of death, is having a hard time staying alive. The museum opened two years ago with a full-bodied program of salon discussions, film and lecture series and quaint exhibitions such as “The Kittens’ Wedding” featuring Victorian-costumed taxidermied cats from the 1890s, as well as the permanent exhibits of artifacts and preserved specimens. Despite critical acclaim, the non-profit institute needs at least $75,000 to keeps its doors open through 2017.
