Our Mission

An ongoing noble endeavor to preserve intriguing, historical artifacts.  Enriching the community with an unparalleled educational path to a deeper consciousness through unique experiences.

EXPLORE THE MUSEUM

There’s a lot to discover inside The Oddities Museum, and no two corners are quite the same. Use the map to guide your way through our collection of taxidermy, medical history, sideshow and circus artifacts, funerary objects, unusual specimens, strange art, and rotating exhibits.

Take your time, look closely, and don’t be afraid to wander—some of the best details are easy to miss. Photography is allowed, and visitors can also take part in our museum scavenger hunt while exploring the galleries.

Please help us protect the collection by keeping hands off the exhibits, artwork, and taxidermy. When you’re finished, stop by the Odd Gallery and event space to see what’s currently on display, then browse Rainy Day Revival for oddities, art, vintage finds, books, gifts, and more.

Taxidermy

From beautifully preserved natural history specimens to whimsical and unconventional creations, our taxidermy collection features animals from around the world.

Many pieces in the collection are antique or vintage, while others come from natural deaths, zoos, private collections, or donations. No animals in our collection were killed for the purpose of display at The Oddities Museum.

NATURAL ANOMALIES & UNUSUAL SPECIMENS

We venture to say that we display the largest freak collection currently on display in one space.

MEDICAL & SCIENTIFIC CURIOSITIES

Explore the stranger side of medical and scientific history through antique instruments, anatomical models, photographs, devices, and artifacts from fields including surgery, dentistry, psychology, and medical education.

These objects offer a glimpse into how our understanding of the human body, illness, treatment, and science has changed over time—sometimes in fascinating, unsettling, and unexpected ways.

Astounding Art

Art at The Oddities Museum is anything but ordinary. Our collection ranges from playful and whimsical to macabre, surreal, and wonderfully strange, with works by both established and emerging artists.

We are especially proud to support local artists through our permanent collection, rotating exhibitions, gallery events, and artist spotlights. There is always something new, or unusual, to discover.

DEATH, MOURNING, & FUNERARY HISTORY

Explore a collection of coffins and caskets, mourning objects, funerary artifacts, human skeletal material, religious objects, and ceremonial pieces connected to fraternal and secret societies. Together, they reveal the rituals, symbolism, and traditions people have created to make sense of mortality.

Circus & Carnival

Step right up into the strange and colorful world of circus and carnival history. Explore sideshow memorabilia, clown artifacts, gaffs, midway games, and other curiosities that reflect the spectacle, humor, and showmanship of traveling entertainment.

From the playful to the peculiar, this collection celebrates the history of performers, attractions, and traditions that helped shape American carnival culture.
