This week on 'Windy City Weekend,' comedian Pat McGann joins Val and Ryan for host chat.
Every displayed item has a story at The Insect Asylum, a vintage taxidermy museum in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood. Owner and founder Nina Salem has spent years curating her massive collection of pinned insects and mounted animals, some dating back to the early 1900's.
"The 'Jenny Haniver' was made by the Fijian tribes in order to ward off demons and dragons," Salem said. "Now we have one hanging in our museum." The museum also boasts a collection of live insects courtesy of Lucca Dana-Coulon, The Insect Asylum's Resident Entomologist. Dana-Coulon says that visiting the museum is a chance for the public to interact with insects in a more positive way than they normally would.
