About the event

Museum Meetup | Memento Mori
Step inside the Farm House Museum, where time stands still and the shadows whisper. Explore crafts and activities inspired by real Victorian funerary and mourning rituals—arrange your own funeral bouquet, etch your name upon a casket plaque, write your epitaph and sit for the faux-est mortem photograph. Complimentary snacks… for the living.

Museum Meetups are free and open to all ISU students. Drop by any time between 6-8pm! No registration required.

P.S. Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning "remember that you must die," and it refers to a practice, artistic symbol, or concept used to remember the inevitability of death. The phrase is meant to inspire a more meaningful and purposeful life by reminding people to focus on what is truly essential.
