The Museum of Unnatural History is a quirky exhibition by Washington, DC based artist Oliver Munday.
It is a play on the long standing traditional natural history museums of the world. While natural history museums showcase dioramas and presentations of animals in their habitat, and other scientific wonders, the Museum of Unnatural History showcases things of a slightly different nature. "Unicorn soup" and "Existentially Distraught Wood" are among some of the mock items created for this project.

My attention is brought to a specific Species Identification Flowchart that Munday has put together to give this  project a great touch of sarcasm. The first thing that stood out to me was the overall form of this document. It really fits together, almost jigsaw-like. One can tell that every line is deliberate, every twist and turn of the lines is intended to be a piece of the overall composition.

Color is quite seamless in this document as well. I appreciated the background having an off-white, or manilla tint to it, making it not too harsh on the eyes and providing some texture. The badges all follow the same color scheme, with a black badge denoting questions, and green ones providing answers or actions. In the case of the "Gross" badge on the right hand side, it stands out because it is a mere border of the other green badges, yet, still we can see that it is a member of the green family of badges.

Wether or not you even follow the flowchart in the manner intended, the image has a pleasing flow to the eyes. All the lines, shapes and fonts are quite smooth, leading me to believe that the artist utilized vector graphics in his creation of this piece. The flowchart is riddled with humor, as in the first few levels "Is the specimen devouring you? Can you see it? From the neck down? -- It's you!" Whilst traditional species classification systems use a system based on latin names and different trees and families, this system throws that out in place of the practical. The title denotes it is "Field-Tested." This chart is not for scientists and laboratory assistants, it is for true trekkers, facing any sort of danger in reach of scientific exploration!
