A New Collection Special

In this special episode, you'll join Ryan as he unboxes items from a recently acquired collection that belonged to one of the most prominent collectors of memento mori art. You'll be the first to see these items as they are unwrapped from their packages!

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.

What We’ll Do

In this hour-long virtual event, the co-founders of the wildly popular Oddities Flea Market open their doors and welcome you into their homes. Enjoy exclusive access to rarely-seen objects, peruse rare artifacts up close, and experience this unconventional collection in an intimate setting. Each month, Ryan and Regina will showcase a different object of interest and delve into what makes it unique. You’ll also learn how to find, display and care for your curious treasures. At the end of each experience, you’ll have the chance to ask questions and show off your own unique finds!
