Cannibal exhibit in Cali. @johnpodesta mentions the Donner Party in this Politico article. Sick pup. The derangement is real.
“Cannibals,” an exhibit with bite
Closing its long-running torture exhibit, the San Diego Museum of Man this weekend opened a cheerier show.
Welcome to “Cannibals: Myth & Reality.”
“This is very different,” said Grant Barrett, the Balboa Park institution’s marketing manager. “There are parts of this exhibit that are lighthearted or compassionate.”
Banishing the iron maiden, the rack and thumb screws has changed the mood in the 3,000-square-foot gallery. Artifacts of sadism have been replaced by a show that, while no laff riot, adds a dollop of pop culture to its blood and grilled guts.
A wall of movie posters reminds visitors that cannibalism appears in everything from the 1991 tearjerker “Fried Green Tomatoes” to last year’s “In the Heart of the Sea.” Play the “Donner Party” video game or a life-size version of “Operation,” using large tweezers to extract calorie-rich organs and muscles.
