The Museum of Jurassic Technology

Garden of Eden on Wheels

The Museum of Jurassic Technology focuses on the history of obscure objects and a strange sense of art. We watched a video of it today in art 108. The museum features exhibits like the one pictured above all the way to an x-ray bat story. The bat was supposedly able to switch the echolocation sense most bats have into x ray waves allowing the bat to fly through objects. On display is a thick lead slab that they used to capture the bat. You can see the print of a bat on the front side as if it is encased within the slab. Other displays include tiny sculptures on needles, mice on toast to show that mice used to be considered a dietary aid, and even a human horn.
