Oakland’s “Ghoulish & Ghastly” 19th Century Monsters Exhibit (Oct. 16-Nov. 6)

Every Sunday through November 6th.

EVENT UPDATE: There are no upcoming events known for this event series - please check the organizer website for any updates.

Did you know that some of our favorite creepy creatures, including Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Kraken were popularized during the Victorian era? What ii we told you that the true crime podcasts you love today would have been just as loved in the 19th century? Explore how societal changes, including Scientific Progress, access to affordable printing, and religious exploration contributed to popularization of the gothic horror genre, and the rise of monsters- both real and fictional– in 19th century popular culture.

Museum admission includes exhibit and a self-guided tour of our haunted rooms! Family friendly.

Exhibit is open every Sunday through November 6.
