Stop in to pick out a peculiar (or not so peculiar) Seattle souvenir or admire the collections of shrunken heads, two-headed animals, mummies, antiques, preserved creatures, skulls, skeletons, jackalopes, antiques, and mermaids.
Look for “Petri-Fido” a petrified dog, the Fiji Mermaid, “Medical Ed” the educational human head, the Freak Pig with extra limbs, and Sylvester and Sylvia, the shop’s famous mummies.
The shop has changed locations over the years, most recently in 2016 (after these photos were taken), but the spirit of the shop has always lived on.
