MUSE: Death Becomes Her

Thursday, September 17, 2026
4:00 - 7:00 pm
MUSE is a special event celebrating arts, culture, and history at the Corvallis Museum! Every third Thursday, in conjunction with the Corvallis Arts Walk, join us for this free event for all ages.
In September, we bid farewell to one of our favorite exhibits, Death Becomes Her: Women’s Mourning Dress, 1860 to 1919.  Join us for this month’s MUSE as we put the exhibit to rest, celebrating the curious and strange! Local artists will be vending their creepy, creative, and delightfully macabre creations in the museum lobby. Wear your most fashionable black attire and help us give this beloved exhibition a fitting farewell.

Now accepting applications to vend! We are looking for vendors whose work embraces the macabre, the curious, Victorian aesthetics, mourning traditions, gothic art, oddities, dark florals, antiques, handmade goods, literature, or similarly themed creations.
