Welcome to the Animals exhibition at the Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata! An enchanting wilderzone of animal collection and undoubtedly the most singular ecocollage of its kind! See wildlife, feralife, and tamelife intertwine in a symbiotic thicket of biomass! A vast biopanorama in which you, too, are on display! Here the animals are more curious about you than you are them, and rather than being tamed, here they make humans wild!
***
Animals features over 25 loans from Austin collectors, a narwhal tooth replica, a weeping taxidermy crocodile, an aquarium, and millions of invisible animalculae! SEE a St. Croix hog drink canned beer! HEAR the electro-feral gibberish of our circuit-bent Furby! FEEL the astroturf beneath your feet as you tour the anti-menagerie!
