Morbid Anatomy

Joanna Ebenstein began Morbid Anatomy as a blog in 2007, in support of a photo exhibition about medical museums. Since then, it has expanded to include the Morbid Anatomy Library, and an international series of lectures, exhibitions, classes, spectacles, symposia, field trips, books, popups, parties, and films.

It is best known for its brief incarnation as the critically acclaimed Morbid Anatomy Museum (2013-2016), co-founded by Ebenstein with Tracy Hurley Martin in Brooklyn, New York.

Today, Morbid Anatomy continues to produce events, spectacles, and exhibitions. It is run by Ebenstein, who acts as creative director, with programming director and head librarian Laetitia Barbier. It works with a variety of partners and venues such as Green-wood Cemetery, where it temporarily took up residence in a 19th century historic gatehouse.
