Joe talks about the Sardinian festival of the Mamathones from Mamoidia and the theories surrounding its origin story. Meanwhile, Xan examines the legend of the Golem and recounts a haunting story that involves a Dybbuk, a wine cabinet, a mysterious curse, and Post Malone's collection of curiosities.

Continuing with our spooky themed exhibits, we join our tour guides, Xan and Joe, inside the abandoned castle on the hill, located on the museum grounds, where they will be leading an exhibit focusing on vampires and werewolves. Joe goes into detail about the origins of the European vampire myths and its transformation through the centuries. While Xan brings in some additional information regarding vampires in the 19th century, as well as a possible theory for how werewolf stories came to be.

On today’s tour, we are joined by our tour guides, Xan and Joe inside the Cabin of Curiosities where they take us through a series of strange rooms that focus on legendary cryptids and conspiracies surrounding them. Guided by the book, “Florida's Unexpected Wildlife,” Xan curates and discusses the many different cases of sea monster sightings on Florida's coastlines and provides details on these encounters. Meanwhile, they both theorize the reasons behind these conspiracies and sightings, putting into question the relationship these stories have with beachfront tourist towns...

On today's tour, we join our tour guides, Xan and Joe, inside a realistic recreation of a sand worm's mouth where they will be leading an exhibit on the history of teeth. They talk about the origins of teeth ranging from the evolution of sharks, to horses, and eventually humans and discuss early dental practices and myths surrounding tooth decay. All the while, discussing the drastic impact a species' diet and environment can have on their teeth and how our food has become too soft...

On today's tour, we get lost inside the museum's labyrinth joined by our tour guides, Xan and Joe, who use this opportunity to explore the connection between the story of Atlantis and its theorized connection to the Minoan civilization. They briefly recount the history of the Minoans and shine light on its disastrous end and possible influence it had on Plato's story of Atlantis. If you are a longtime visitor here at the Uncanny County Museum, a bit of this tour will sound familiar to our very first exhibit.

On today's tour, we join our tour guides, Xan and Joe, in front of a large bank vault where they will be leading an exhibit about medieval and contemporary currency. Xan goes into detail about the Floren, a currency implemented by the Medici family of Florence in the 15th century while Joe takes us back north to talk about Iceland's 11th century currency system. All the while, they propose the idea that perhaps Cosimo de’ Medici sounded like Don Corelone from the Godfather.

It's been one full year that the Uncanny County Museum has been open! As a special exhibit, our tour guides, Xan and Joe, celebrate this occasion by interviewing each other about their art practices. They share some insight into their own artworks, art process, and personal history that formed their arts careers.

On today's tour, Xan and Joe are joined by special guest Bradley Strock, who recounts his journey from inside the Glendive Dinosaur and Fossil Museum, a throwback to our first ever exhibit! They discuss the exhibits in detail, including the layout, artwork and exhibition design the museum employs for displaying their creationist vision of prehistory. At the same time, Bradley tells his stories of being out on a dig in Glendive and the adventures that ensued during his quest for some fossils.

On today's tour, our tour guides, Xan and Joe sit down with fossil preparatore extraordinaire, Hillary McLean to talk about the complicated issue of collecting dinosaur fossils and the role of the museum in the public's perception of value. All the while, discussing why fish paleontology gets a bad rap, Jurassic Park 3, and why T. rex is an overrated dinosaur.
