Guess I missed the opening in 2014 and now will never have a chance to see the unusual objects on display. According to the articles: The news didn’t come without warning. On December 6th, the museum sent out an appeal urging fans to make donations and sign up for memberships in the coming year. Museum leadership also called for longterm funders, citing a political climate in which federal and state grants for the arts are increasingly hard to come by. “If we cannot raise $75,000 with this year’s annual appeal, we face the very real prospect that the Museum will close in the coming months,” they wrote. …”We’re proud of the award winning and critically acclaimed work we have done,” the team added. However, “Good press doesn’t pay the rent.” As of Monday, the appeal had brought in $8,010. Gotta give Joanna Ebenstein (the museum’s founder) credit for trying.
Oh well, now I need to find another place for those taxidermy classes.
