The Last Tuesday Society & The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities Cocktail Bar, Viktor Wynd's Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art and History, Absinthe Parlour, Lectures, www.thelasttuesdaysociety.org

The Museum:

From rare priceless marvels of the natural and scientific worlds like Dodo Bones or speculum to the intriguing beauty of McDonald's Happy Meal Toys, from old master etchings to prison inmates & mad women's doodles, occultists paintings and pop art prints, the horrors and wonders of nature, two headed kittens and living coral. By placing the rare and the beautiful on the same plane as the commonplace, banal & amusing this museum seeks not to educate but to subvert, to show the world not in a grain of sand, but in a Hackney basement. The Museum has no overreaching aim beyond the theft of it's visitors time and the hope that it will provide amusement by return & hopes to fill the vacuum between what the establishment elite believes is worthy of worship & what exists in the world. The Cocktail Bar:

Collectors, researchers & absintheurs — Allison Crawbuck & Rhys Everett opened the Society's Cocktail Bar in 2016, bringing with them a shared passion for the mysterious world of Absinthe & the macabre. Together, they have curated the UK's most extensive list of premium quality, traditional absinthes & curious cocktails to pair. Hidden within the wonderfully strange, beautiful and bizarre world of Viktor Wynd's Museum of Curiosities, our speakeasy styled cocktail bar provides a drinking experience like no other. With a rotating menu of eclectically curated cocktails, each drink is inspired by the marvel and oddities of our venue's decor. The History:

"This is no dream! This is really happening!" (Rosemary's Baby, 1968). To welcome Halloween, film scholar Dr Murray Leeder, author of Horror Film: A Critical Introduction and Halloween, explores dream horror: why the nightmare is to horror what the fairy tale is to romantic comedy, how dream sequences let in the avant-garde, and why some dreams hide truths we must wake up to rather than from.

Who carved the great stone heads of Easter Island? Why? And what catastrophe later toppled every one of them? Aliens have been blamed, naturally. James Grant-Peterkin lived on the island for over 20 years, studied its Rapa Nui language and served as British Honorary Consul. He'll tell us what probably happened, what the statues really mean, and what the island warns about finite resources on our own small planet.

Thursday 15 October, 8–9:30pm UK time, on Zoom
£6–£10 & by donation. Can't make it? Ticket holders get a recording the next day, valid for two weeks.
