October 9 – 31, 2015
Some stories from Kachemak Bay have been lost to common knowledge, swept under the rug and into collections storage at the Pratt Museum. Now is your chance to learn about the dark days of our past through original artifacts and rare images:
- Silver bullet casting molds from the werewolf outbreak of 1934
- Taxidermy mount of the now-extinct native scorpion forest squirrel
- Various and frightening specimens preserved stuffed (fanged hare and parasitic fish crab) or in alcohol (giant huntsman spidermoose and assorted viscera)
- Relics from the vampire wars of the 1970s, including impaling stakes, fangs, and desicated vampires (in bat form)
- The brain (cast) of a 3-legged land whale
- Kandorian “siren” eel extracted from Homer Pennock’s leg
This special exhibit is only up through Saturday, October 31, after which the specimens shall be appropriately forgotten…
