"Do you wish you could decipher a person's character by mapping the topography of their head? Do mutant mermaids (half fish/half monkey) fill your dreams at night? Have you ever wondered what David Hasselhoff's favorite Jolly Rancher flavor is? If you answered yes to one of more of these questions, drop everything and head straight to the Museum of Natural and Artificial Ephemerata. Make sure you take time to talk with co-curators Scott Webel and Jen Hirt, to get the full experience as you make your way through the five impermanent collections: Naturalia & Artificialia, Urban Phantasmagoria, The Celebrity Collection, The Snowglobe Collection, and a wing dedicated to sleep."
