The Death by Natural Cause Exhibit provided information about unusual natural deaths and toxins through displays of people who died of natural causes, death certificates, and interactive elements. It covered topics like snake and spider venoms, poisonous mushrooms, the bubonic plague, and cocaine in Coca-Cola. The exhibit aimed to educate visitors on natural toxins and poisons through its varied displays and interactive elements while maintaining an appropriate level of detail for all audiences.

1. DEATH BY NATURAL
CAUSE EXHIBIT

2. EVENT DESCRIPTION
At the Death by Natural Cause Exhibit they had tons of information regarding some crazy deaths caused from natural
occurrences. It offered many educational purpose as well by informing the visitor on poisons and venoms things.

3. WHEN YOU ENTER THE EXHIBITION YOU
ARE GREETED BY THIS SIGN AND THEN
YOU WALK DOWN A HIGHWAY THAT
HAS TWO WALKS AND ON THOSE
WALLS THERE IS ABOUT 10 PEOPLE 5
ON EACH WALL WHO HAVE ALL DIED OF
A NATURAL CAUSE THE TWO MEN I
SHOW HERE HAVE VERY INTERESTING
DEATHS I ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ
THEM ESPECIALLY SINCE ONE OF THEM
WAS A US CONGRESSMAN.

4. AFTER YOU GET THROUGH THE HALLWAY YOU COME ACROSS THESE TWO THINGS A DEATH CERTIFICATE AND THE “
DOSE MAKES THE POISON,” THE DEATH CERTIFICATES WERE PRETTY WEIRD IN A WAY I FELT LIKE IT WAS JUST A
LITTLE TO MUCH FOR LITTLE KIDS TO SEE. THE DOSE MAKES THE POISON WAS VERY INTERESTING AS ALL OF THEM
CONTAIN CYANIDE SOMETHING MANY VAPES IN THE US CONTAIN WHICH HAD LEAD TO ABOUT 20 DEATHS IN THE
US. YES APPLE SEEDS AND ALMONDS ALSO CONTAIN CYANIDE.

5. ANOTHER COOL THING ABOUT THIS EXHIBITION WAS THAT THERE WERE THINGS YOU COULD PLAY WITH LIKE THIS ONE. IT SHOWS YOU WHAT ARE YOUR ODDS OF DYING
WHILE TAKING SELFIE OR BETTER YET BEING HIT METEORITE. BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STAY OFF THE PHONE WHEN IT IS TIME TO DRIVE OR FOCUS.

6. THE EXHIBIT ALSO SHARED EDUCATIONAL THINGS
ON CERTAIN REPTILES LIKE SNAKES AND THEIR
VENOM AND HOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF
VENOM, I THINK THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB IN
EXPLAINING HOW THE VENOM WORKS AND WHERE
YOU CAN FIND THESE VENOMS REPTILES.

7. THIS ONE WAS VERY INTERESTING TO ME BECAUSE I
NEVER KNEW COCAINE WAS ACTUALLY IN COCA COLA.
DR HARVEY WILEY BELIEVED THAT EVEN JUST COCA
COLA WITH CAFFEINE WAS BAD FOR YOUNG CHILDREN,
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE WORLD TODAY YOU COULD
SAY IT IS BAD FOR ADULTS AS ALMOST ALL OF US ARE
ADDICTED TO CAFFEINE.

8. THIS PART OF THE EXHIBIT WAS VERY ODD
TO ME. IT WAS TALKING ABOUT
MUSHROOMS AND HOW DANGEROUS THEY
ARE. YOU COULD ALSO PUSH DOWN ON THE
HANDLES YOU SEE ON THE MUSHROOMS TO
SEE IF THEY ARE SAFE OR NOT AND I FOUND
THAT TO BE VERY COOL BECAUSE WELL AT
LEAST FOR ME WHEN I GOT TO A MUSEUM I
TEND TO WANT TO TOUCH THINGS AND
INTERACTIVE SO I THOUGHT THAT WAS A
REALLY GOOD TOUCH.

9. AFTER THE MUSHROOMS IT MOVES INTO MORE OF
A MAN V NATURE TYPE OF DEATHS AND IN THIS ONE
WE SEE WHAT A GARTER SNAKE CAN DO, THIS WAS
VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE A GARTER SNAKE IS
QUITE SMALL BUT VERY VERY POISON.

10. BUBONIC
PLAGUE
¡ IM SURE ALL OF US HAVE HEARD OF THE BUBONIC PLAGUE IN THE MIDDLE YOU CAN SEE WHAT A DOCTOR
FOR THE PLAGUE WOULDVE BEEN DRESSED LIKE ALTHOUGH IT WAS NEVER REALLY KNOWN IF THEY WORE
THOSE POINTY MASK. THEY HAD A VERY COOL INTERACTIVE THING WHERE THERE IS A BODY LAYING DOWN
AND YOU HAD TO INSERT YOUR HAND AND IT WOULD TELL WHAT THE CAUSE OF DEATH THIS ONE WAS
PREFECTLY SET UP BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE BUBONIC PLAGUE DOCTOR AND YOU CAN SEE IN MY
PICTURES HOW THEY BUBONIC PLAGUE TOOK ITS TOLL ON THE HUMAN BODY.

11. THIS SPIDER VENOM WAS DOESN’T KILL YOU
RIGHT AWAY BUT DOES CAUSE SOME SERIOUS
PAIN. IT CAN USUALLY KILL YOU WITHIN AN
HOUR BUT RESEARCHERS IN BRAZIL HAVE
FOUND AN ANTIVENOM THAT HELPS TREAT IT.
USUALLY KIDS UNDER THE AGE OF SEVEN ARE
THE ONES ARE THE VICITIM TO THIS SPIDER IT
ALSO CALLED THE BANANA SPIDER WHICH WAS
PRETTY COOL SINCE IT IS ON BANANA.

12. WARM BOLD KILLERS ARE REALLU REALLY POWERFUL AND REALLY REMIND US WHO IS AT THE TOP OF
THE FOOD CHAIN. ALTHOUGH THESE ANIMALS WOULD RATHER EAT A ZEBRA OR A DEER IT IS USUALLY
THE ONES THAT ARE INJURED WHO CHOOSE TO GO FOR HUMANS OR WHATEVER THEY CAN GET
THERE JAWS ON. THEY ARE TRULY TERRFYING WHEN YOU CONSIDER THEY AMOUNT OF POWER SOME
OF THESE ANIMALS HAVE.

13. THIS PIECE OF ART WAS VERY INTERESTING
YOU CAN SEE 3 COLORED FROGS AND A
SPIDER AND THEN YOU SEE A COUPLE
ARROWS. THOSE ARROWS WERE FILLED OR
RUBBED WITH POISON FROM EITHER THE
FROG OR SPIDER, TO ABSTRACT THE TOXINS
FROM THE FROG IT WAS USUALLY ROTATED
OVER A SKEWER AND THAT CAUSES THE
FROG TO STRESS AND RELEASE ITS TOXINS
WITH EVEN JUST A LITTLE RUB OF THE
TOXINS IT COULD KILL A HUMAN, AS FOR THE
SPIDER YOU WOULD HAVE TO RUB THE BACK
OF ITS LEGS TO EXTRACT THE VENOM IT HAS
WHICH IS ALSO VERY DEADLY.

14. OVERVIEW
¡ Overall this exhibit was amazing. Considering it was my first one I was very impressed. I liked the lay out it started off
very smooth with every natural cause of death you could think off, but it never over the extreme like 1000 ways to die.
It was actually really packed with tons of information as well like how much venom some reptiles have or how poisons
a mushrooms can be. I would give it a 10/10.
