Reviews
The Museum of Un-Natural History is a mind-bending, tongue-in-cheek fever dream of satire, sculpture, and surrealism. It’s part gallery, part time warp, part existential prank—curated with sharp wit and outsider brilliance. Every corner holds a deadpan punchline or a strange little truth wrapped in absurdity. If you love Dada, desert shrines, or anything that feels like a visual poem left behind by a trickster philosopher, this is your jam. It’s not just art—it’s an experience, a mood, a slightly unhinged whisper in your ear saying, “Don’t take the world too seriously—but definitely look closer.” A Walla Walla essential. Let it weird you out.

This small, free museum is worth spending 15-20 minutes in. The space is full of creations from artist Gerry Matthews. These pieces are dadaist art so go in knowing you may not "understand" everything. If you go in with a sense of openness then you'll have fun. There are pieces that evoke very strong feelings politically and socially so if you're sensitive to those kinds of things, I would suggest you skip this. Gerry was friendly on the day I went, he was interesting to talk to.
