This store located centrally in Ybor City on Seventh Ave will satisfy all those who love oddities and curiosities. The store has a darker esthetic drawing on the morbid and in part the occult in its vibe and design. You can find crystals, taxidermy, jewelry, old photographs and postcards and much more. You have to go up a flight of stairs to get into the store. The people who work there are very friendly. Prices are definitely on the high side. read more

This was a very unique oddities shop. I don't think I would necessarily identify it as an antique shop. It has a lot of of interesting and fun curious pieces but everything is very highly priced. It was fun to walk through and check out all the unique items but it's not really a stop for those who are looking to encounter a full antique shop with a large stock of items. Very pricey. read more

Such a cool place to visit! There's a lot to explore and check out. Highly recommend stopping in.

Wow. I've never seen anything like it, ever. This is the most amazing collection of oddities I've ever seen. The weird, the wonderful, and beyond. The store owner was also really sweet and took time to talk to us about her collection. read more

I'm not sure how to review this. My husband and I were walking through ybor exploring and stumbled upon this curious place. We stepped inside and it reminded me of an old timey circus peculiar parlor. Cool, right? The shop owner (I think it's the owner) allowed us to take pictures, but out of respect for the dead didn't want us to photograph the human remains?? There were human skulls on display. Which initially I had no clue they were real. At this point no judgment. Lots of cool war artifacts from WW2 and 1. As well as old photographs, creepy looking dolls, taxidermy pieces, and t-shirts and sage smudge sticks for sale to name a few items. It was a lot of fun looking through all the stuff! It was so interesting. The part that was really bothersome is something I debated on even mentioning, but here goes. I'm all for inclusivity on spirituality and religion! But I draw the line at satanic religion. I'm privy to the terrible experiences people have been traumatized by at the hands of these types of cults. So when I happened upon several stacks of the satanic bible for sale I decided to put my smudge stick back. I can't be part of anything that would knowingly sell brand new copies of the satanic bible. If it weren't for that, I'd have considered 4-5 stars. Unfortunately I likely will never return. read more

What a treasure trove this little gem turned out to be! From taxidermy mice in fishing boats to terrifyingly staged clown photo shoots, if it's appeared in your strange dreams, it's there. Everywhere you turn there's something new to look at and there are even drawers of goodies to rifle through like you're a kid in your grandmother's attic. 10/10 recommend if you're anywhere in the Ybor City area! read more

This place is the epitome of a local gem. Come here for vintage, unique, obscure items for your home or just to look at the amazing collection they've amassed. Some items (the very rare ones) are pricey, but they have tons of affordable treasures hidden around every corner. Can't wait to go back on another hunt (if I can find room in my house)! read more

Sadly when arriving after a 30 min drive, the shop was closing 30 mins early, 4:30pm. We were told to try and come back tomorrow. We aren't locals, we are visiting and heading back home so it was pretty disappointing to be turned away. Maybe next time we will stop in and they will be open until their closing times as listed. Apple maps state 7:00pm and Yelp/ Google state 5:00pm. Either or they closed early unfortunately so we didn't get the chance to look around to properly review the establishment. read more

We love browsing in the store when we are in Ybor. There are some VERY interesting items in this store. To say the least...rather draw dropping things that you just would never think you would come across in your life. Lol... The owners are very kind and helpful don't forget to Say hello to Lil Bit the store mascot and the guest book when you walk inside. I'm sure they'll appreciate knowing who their visitors/patrons are. We try to go take a look to see what's new in each town we are in Ybor. We will definitely return! read more

This place is so freakin dope!! Creepy, vintage vibes adorn every crevice. The owner is really nice and helpful and makes the pieces himself. There you can find all types of things from voodoo dolls to vintage medical texts. It's so aesthetically stunning and intriguing as hell. I knew I couldn't walk out without buying something, so many things called out to me! I ended up getting this sterling silver tray with 3 chalices. They make an excellent piece to my altar. They also have collaborated with Blind Tiger next door to offer this cool lounge area in between the two establishments where you can relax have a coffee. Loved it! read more

The coolest store that I have ever had the chance to be in. Not only is this place a store but also a little museum; housing the coolest and creepiest things of human kind! read more

Definitely one of the most unique places I've been to! I loved this place - after stumbling upon it online when looking for stuff to do while in Tampa, I had to add this to my list & was glad I did! There are so many beautiful and interesting things in this place. From skulls to taxidermy, and so much more, it's definitely worth coming to walk through it!

This gallery fits perfectly in Ybor. There's some interesting taxidermy, dark funeral parlor pieces, dark whimsical pieces, paintings, jewelry and much more. Price range is pretty broad - you can find something to fit your budget. I have young bugs and was nervous bringing them in with me... The owners were fantastic. They explained what is "not for touching" and directed the kids to items they could explore. This place is a must see... Very intriguing. read more

Dysfunctional Grace - Wall art, from a set of 3 - Art Galleries Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I came to Dysfunctional Grace Arts to take a class on making horns. I left with an appreciation for all their neat things. They have skulls, jewlery, taxidermy and everything in between. Do you need a dental chair for your haunted house? Perhaps you need a Skeleton for your medical practice. Or maybe you're making a unique piece of art and you need something that you just don't know yet. You'll find it here. The shop has a flair to it that will give some people the creeps. Me? I could live here. I really do need to come back. read more

A wise woman once said "What is normal to the spider is chaos to the fly." (Thanks Liz!) I am absolutely in love with this place. We found this place because we were searching for antique shops with an odd touch. While we were searching Ybor location we came upon this listing. If you are looking for any oddity for a collection or a gift, then this is the place. There is a huge selection of skulls for sale, both animal and human. There were coffins, bird feet, skulls, teeth even old medical tools for sale. The list could go on and on. In the back of the store there were crystals and gemstones for sale and they were a really decent price. Usually if you go to a farmers market the booth will charge you $15 alone for the stone, it's holder and a string. I bought a amethyst stone with holder for $5. The lady (whose name I didn't get sorry!) threw in the leather rope for free so I could wear it. She was sewing leather for handmade key chains. She has created books too. I wish I had the proper name for them. Indiary perhaps. They had a higher quality paper for those of us that like to write with heavy ink pens. $20 for the smaller ones (perfect for your purse or bag) $30 for the medium sized. Decently priced for hand made. My boyfriend bought a bobcat skull as a gift for a friend. Daniel (owner) was nice enough to go over the animal skulls and told us how he takes pride on creating display pieces for these items. He has a bunch of ideas on how he can help you display your piece don't hesitate to ask him. They are reasonably priced and offer lay-away for a certain time frame too. Liz (Daniels wife) was eager to help and very informative. If we ever need an "odd piece" for a gift or for a conversation piece this is the place. I can't wait to go back! read more

This place is seriously awesome. Not for the basic-at-heart. I have always wanted to go into an oddities shop like this and was not disappointed! Real bones of all kinds, human teeth, infant coffins, live scorpions, and specimen jars are just a few of the things you can find there. The owner is a peach, and I was lucky enough to meet her daughter there as well who is a firecracker! I wanted to buy all sorts of creepy things (hubby vetoed the scorpion), but settled for three dried butterflies that I will frame and add to my collection. I really wish there were a place like this in Boston! read more

Visiting from Ohio, love oddities shops so while my husband was working I took a 30 min uber to visit this shop. Yelp said it was open but got here and the doors are locked. The door says "if the doors unlocked WE ARE OPEN...if the doors are locked WE ARE CLOSED" What kind of business runs like that???? read more

I love this place. Amazing oddities and gifts. I would give it 5 stars but the hours are terrible If you work a normal 9-5 day job you probably won't be able to ever shop here and they are closed on Sunday's. Sad face. But other than that, if you're available between the hours if 11-5, I highly recommend! read more

Fun little shop of odd things, macabre things, and sometimes beautiful, artsy things. There's always something new to see here but not for the faint of heart. Dead things in liquid. Insects pinned to boards. Teeth. But also crystals, smudge sticks, unique framed mirrors, tchotchkes. I walked in the other day and had to walk right out again because the proprietor was leaving. Hours are irregular. read more

This was a cool spot to see some odds and ends. I always love stopping into these kinds of stores to browse and occasionally buy presents for my friends. I appreciate the larger collection here of taxidermy. At first, the store doesn't look big but there are multiple inner rooms with different items to explore. Also, the staff here is really nice which I always appreciate. We didn't buy anything but really enjoyed looking at a lot of the artifacts. They have an old medical tools section read more

This is why people come to places like Ybor City besides the cigars and frat boy weekends. There is so much cool,creepy fun stuff here you could just spend hours looking at all the cool art and bones and dentures,speculums! Glass eyes? Yes! It's like a smaller version of the Mutter Museum in Philly and just as cool. A generous amount of taxidermy and I'm pretty sure they have classes for that if you have the stomach for it. Lots of cool animal heads made into art and leather products and knick-knacks. The people who work there are super sweet and informative. This is a place you don't want to miss. Hey! You know that black sheep in your family? I mean there's one in every family right? Yes, this is where you shop for them for any occasion and they will love you forever. What an amazing place filled with obscure art. And if it's not your thing, at least go once, you must. They also support local art and artists and to me, that's what Ybor is all about. Let's keep it weird! Enjoy! read more
