This Just In! -
The Bone Room is a dynamic place and we like to keep our loyal customers informed. We realize that we feature a lot of information and merchandise on our web site, and that a lot of our long time customers, as well as new ones, might not notice our newest items on their own.

Introducing... The Bone Room Presents!
In August 2009, The Bone Room budded off a whole new operation right next door. We took over the neighboring space in our building (The Herschel Building) at 1573 Solano, and are now offering Natural History oriented art openings, book signings, academic lectures, and courses every Thursday evening.
This is our addition to the ages, a short instructional video featuring Erin, our very own Assistant Manager At Large. Erin takes us on an overview of the process of turning your 'late' (high maintenance) companion into articulated skeleton or "The Perfect Pet".
