An Online Experience
Anatomical figures rendered in lifelike wax, prosthetic glass eyes peering up from medical trays, elaborate human hair wreaths memorializing the dearly departed. For Ryan and Regina Cohn, preserving these curious and often misunderstood objects is as much about honoring the past as learning from it.

For Ryan and Regina Cohn, preserving these curious and often misunderstood objects is as much about honoring the past as learning from it.
In this hour-long virtual event, the co-founders of the wildly popular Oddities Flea Market and authors of The Witch's Door: Oddities and Tales from the Esoteric to the Extreme, open their doors and welcome you into their home, or take you along for a trip to see fascinating objects in museums and the homes of other collectors.
This June, Ryan takes you into the 1890s home of Adam Wallacavage, a collector and artist best known for his handmade Octopus-shaped chandeliers!
