ODDMENTS is a perfectly peculiar potpourri of obscure tales in the fields of art, history, adventure and science! These stories may not have fit previous salons but we consider them worthy of telling nonetheless! This night we celebrate a grab bag of rarities, share some toasts and wrap up 2023 while we look to the future! Join us for ODDMENTS NYC III, curated by Guest Curator and Fellow Olivia Owre-Bell.

Jelly Donuts are Jewish!
Fellow—Jessie Wayburn

The Raft Expeditions of Thor Heyerdahl
Fellow—Matt Codner
Norwegian scientist Thor Heyerdahl's voyage on a balsa raft called Kon-Tiki brought him from Peru to Polynesia to show that Pacific Islanders could have descended from ancient Mesoamericans.

Fellow—Theresa Handwerk
