Museum of Death/Chaos Gallery

I heard about the Museum of Death a while ago, but have been too much of a "pussy" to go before (Me-Owww). I must admit, my morbid curiosity is getting the better of me these days, and I really want to check it out just to see! Let's just hope that Curiosity DOESN'T Kill The Cat! Currently, there is an exhibit of Creepy Dolls and a Siamese Turtle apparently at the Chaos Gallery next door (free with ticket purchase to the Museum of Death).

I plan to be at the museum for about 3-4 hours. If anyone feels like they can stomach food/drink after the museum, we can grab a bite/drink at a nearby venue. The Frolic Room, Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles, Cafe 101, and restos @ Hollywood & Highland are a short walk/Metro ride away.

I will email my contact # to YES RSVPs a few days before the event. Any questions beforehand can be sent via email through the Meetup website.

-----------------------------------------
The World Famous Museum of Death was founded in San Diego June 1, 1995. Originally located in San Diego's 1st mortuary's in a building once owned by Wyatt Earp. Evolving from the controversial art gallery the Rita Dean, founders James Healy and Cathee Shultz realized the void in the Death education in this country and decided to make Death their Life's work.

Recently reopened at it's NEW location the Museum of Death houses the worlds largest collection of Serial Murderer Artwork, Photos of the Charles Manson Crime Scenes, the Guillotined Severed Head of the Blue Beard of Paris, Henri Landru, Original Crime Scene and Morgue Photos from the Grisly BLACK DAHLIA MURDERS, a Body Bag and Coffin collection, replicas of Full Size Execution Devices, Mortician and Autopsy Instruments, Pet Death Taxidermy, and much much more!

Also on display are videos of autopsies and serial killers, the Heaven's Gate Cult recruiting video, and the infamous Traces (not faces) of Death video, all real (not re-enacted) Death footage.

The Museum of Death is a self guided tour, lasting approximately 45 minutes to an hour, but those who can stomach it stay as long as they like, the movies run for hours.

There is not an age limit for for the Museum of Death because WE ALL DIE but we STRONGLY recommend MATURE AUDIENCES !! There have been a number of Falling Down Ovations (people passing out) at the Museum (mostly Men) so we stress being prepared for a good dose of reality!

Next door to the Museum of Death is the CHAOS GALLERY. A unique art gallery featuring local and international artists focusing on the provocative. Included art jewelry, paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installation artwork. A MUST SEE for out of town visitors! Guests can also view the LIVE SIAMESE TURTLE for a nominal fee, and by purchasing a ticket to the Museum of Death, guests can view the famous turtle at No Charge!
