    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!

    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.

    Very interesting and unique. I bought an antique armadillo purse that I absolutely love.

    Great weird shop! I have been wanting to hit up this place since I moved here a year ago. They have shrunken heads and bones, things in jars, sage, unique jewelry...The list goes on. It's also attached to a cute coffee shop. Definitely worth a peek.

    Awesome shop! Really cool staff and just the most amazing little treasures everywhere you look!

    Very cool taxidermy animals. Enjoyed looking around so much to see. Coffins, skeletons, body parts in jars, books & lots of clever things displayed well.

    Skulls, mounted heads, etc.

    Five stars for taxidermy art? Why not. Who doesn't love dead animals displayed artfully with accoutrements. They used to be in St. Pete. Now they are in Ybor. Weird place worth checking out.

    Strange but intriguing items.

    Exceptional service, totally unique product. Perfect for that one-of-a-kind gift or decorator item.

    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! The staff was so friendly too and answered my questions. It is really one-of-a-kind and a must see!

    I enjoy the pictures I have seen from this shop. I have wanted to visit for some time. Interesting minerals, herbs, jewelry and taxidermy.

    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.

    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!

Beautiful young lady at the entrance catalog my reservation, which i was later told you don't really need it. They are doing one more day tomorrow from 1pm to 3pm, im definitely going to bring my mother in. Their collection was huge n beautiful. They had all the paintings im used to seeing from him n then many more of the ones i never seen. They have a new "to us" section of his collection of pop art posters. Just groovy n gorgeous colors, that bring the still images into another realm of perspective beauty. I really wanted to walk out with a few but im no where near the bank needed to do that lol. But i have gone full wild n walked out of auctions with his work before. To those that don't know? In most art auctions there's FREE booze. And this girl right here has gotten very very very VERY! "INSPIRED". I was speaking to one of the nice ladies in the show room about the last time i got "inspired" i won 3 guessing, matching n hidden treasure games in that Art auction. So i had 3 bottles of champagne with me n they went WOOOSH! Disappeared, like an act of magic. All I remember is that im the proud owner of 8 paintings. Lol among them was Petter Max and another gentleman i love. They invited me for another night of crazy Jez but although i did go I didn't add to that collection. Do i regret it? The first one no the second night? Yes omg YES!! I saw 5 of the paintings offered to me at the time weren't over the 5k mark. I saw them in this gallery over 15k ouch! I wanted to cry but a las Jez D Wild will one day find herself in another one of these auctions. Back at the gallery; I loved the displays n how they setup the art Exhibit. They had a charming greeter n one of the main most seen paintings dead center. Lady liberty. I love what he did in order to get the fund needed to save the Statue. It's what made me love his art more. Towards the left they had their painting framing counters, consultations n my favorite part, the Bar! Lol i only had a cup of wine to spice up my "inspiration" lol oh it work beautifully! I seriously felt the vibe with the groovy music playing and the beautiful art. I saw the ones i own at x2-x3 times what i payed for my collection. I fought temptation head on! I seriously wanted to walk away with 3 but even with the 12 month pay plan it would hurt my shenanigans money. Another time it's the best advice i got for myself. I think i would've walked out with a print or poster if they had it for sale. I didn't see them n my anemia was kicking my butt so I forgot to ask. I really loved my visit. The staff is kind and professional. Well verse in the craft n if u checkin through the app they give you a voucher for a free consultation on framing your art to. I would definitely come back for future exhibitions. The smell of oils n thinners really made me miss my days as a student of the arts. I think its time for me to return to my craft. Thank you so much for waking my muse up. Blessings to everybody n have a wonderful night!

It looks like they constantly have different art openings, which they keep updated on their website and Facebook. We managed to be in the area when they had one of their Second Saturday "art walk" nights, which was neat because it coincided with the Castle's Steampunk party so everyone was decked out in their best gear. It's always packed on those nights (probably because of the free snacks), but it's fun to stop in if you're in the area!

Parking is pretty much the grassy area in front of the gallery near the tracks. If you're unfamiliar with the area, it's easy to drive past the turn to the location, but it's easy to get back on track by going around the corner. There's only one bathroom for visitors, so if you're there for a performance, you'll be in line during intermission. They do offer simple beverage and snack selections, too. I look forward to coming back here for other events!

You won't find beach scenes and traditional corporate-friendly art here; instead you'll see some of the more interesting and alternative emerging and established local artists. It's teensy tiny, located in an older house just off the railroad tracks in a less upscale neighborhood .... but it's charming and well curated (and perhaps a bit hipster)-- a throwback to better and more interesting days in the Tampa art scene. It seems to channel some of the spirit of Covivant, Experimental Skeleton and other spaces that have disappeared over the years. As a perfect illustration, it hosted the gorgeous little nutshell of a solo show: "How the Ghost of You Clings" by Kym O'Donnell. That alone earns five stars from me. Two thumbs up!

Admission was only $12, plus they honor reciprocal museum membership associations. On display during our visit were two different exhibits. In the larger gallery, Tim Smith's "The Hutterites: In the World but Not of It" was a fascinating & touching documentation of these self-contained & self-sufficient colonies that sprinkle the NW US & western Canada. The other gallery featured photographs submitted by Tampa Bay area students for a juried competition in "Through Their Lens: A Journey of Self-Exploration". Both exhibits were outstanding! The museum offers a small gift shop with an eccletic selection of photography-related items and iconic concert poster reproductions. Plus, some vinyl records, photography books, and other small souvenirs, were available for purchase. Also on display, but not for sale, were vintage cameras behind glass on a couple of shelves.
