Greetings, Dear Guest! You are in for such a colorful treat this evening, as your host, the other Divine Ms. M., tells you all about the little-known art of Hand-Painted Human Skulls! Most of them are ancient, but there are certainly some more recent painted-up dead heads, too. Oh, and the best part is-- many of them are on display for you to see! Find out the fascinating history of how and why this peculiar practice of decorating the dead came to be. Please take your favorite seat in The Reading Room, and let's begin!

Special Thanks to Sounds Like an Earful Music Supply for the amazing music AND sound design.
