The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History
What Visitors Say
Unique collection that will transport you to other worlds, existing and fantastical. If you like magical objects, dark arts, creepy stuff, mysterious treasures: this is the place! I booked in advance, and when I went down the stairs into the museum, slipped in another world for 45 minutes. Upstairs and equally darkly enchanted cocktailbar btw.
What an awesome place!! Both bar and museum are so quirky and unique and seriously the best cocktail I have ever had (Absentini!). An absolute must visit if you are in the area!
Spent an absolutely amazing Valentine’s Day visiting this museum with my boyfriend, so creepy and interesting with incredibly nice staff definitely recommend for goths and all who enjoy macabre oddities! thank you so much we will definitely be back again 🖤
An very unique and unusual experience where innumerable pieces starting from hairballs, used condoms by rockstars, celebrity poop, taxidermy, dodo skeletons, double headed lamb, voodoo dolls and tribal collections are all put together in a small underground room, for you to explore at leisure The room is very small with spiral staircase leading down from the absinthe parlour above, so not good for anyone with disability or claustrophobia. We visited around the time of Halloween, so was rather enjoyable. The entry to the absinthe parlour upstairs is free and also an experience as long as you have a good staff explaining everything (we didn't and so for us it was a waste of time). Great place to visit if you are in awe of the magic, macabre and Natural history.
While it does have some interesting stuff, most of is unlabelled making most of it not clear what is it beyond appearance. If the highlights are labelled then why bother with 99% of the stuff you can’t be bothered to label? It is also very cramped, I had to brush past people and some areas are so dark you can’t even read the labels. Not sure this is worth paying for personally. It’s also not really organised very well. The bar is really nice and has good cocktails and a cool vibe but the stools aren’t the most comfortable.

Fun Facts
Run by the Last Tuesday Society, the museum began as a private collection turned public curiosity cabinet—more salon than state museum by design.
Displays deliberately mingle high and low—fine art prints might sit beside seaside oddments—to parody Victorian taxonomies and Instagram-age collecting alike.
Entry can be cheaper if you pre-book a cocktail table—because here, hospitality is part of the museology.
