Morales Funeral Home survives Death by Natural Causes

The Staff of Morales Funeral Home in-front of the temporary exhibit “Death by Natural Causes”

Did you know there are about 50 ways to die at the Houston Museum of Nature Science right now? Well the staff of Morales Funeral Home visited the temporary exhibit Friday afternoon to take a look themselves.

Snakes. Spiders. Sharks.  The things you fear are the least of your worries! Death by Natural Causes introduces patrons to the range of “animal, vegetable and mineral” dangers that lurk in their everyday lives.  Through a collection of specimens, text and interactives, visitors can see what can cause a death, either directly or indirectly, from the natural world. Poisonous, venomous and toxic are just a few of the terms that will be clarified, and things you interact with almost daily will be used as examples—mushrooms, snakes, spiders and even common foods! Old wives tales and urban myths will be debunked,

as visitors travel through five general areas of rich graphics, compelling visuals and surprising specimens.

The exhibit runs through September 4th, so catch your ticket at www.hmns.org
