📸: Oddities & Curiosities Expo

🎟 Tickets start at $14
📍 Seattle Convention Center: 705 Pike St, Seattle

Freaky collectors unite—Seattle Oddities & Curiosities Expo is here to satisfy all your creepy, crawly needs. For two days at the Seattle Convention Center, oddity connoisseurs and enthusiasts will gather to sell stuff, share knowledge, and have a spooky time. Do amulets tickle your fancy? Or perhaps diaphonized specimens in ornate jars? Maybe a mounted skull of some sort?

All of the items you may see at the Expo are as follows: “taxidermy, preserved specimens, original artwork. horror/Halloween inspired pieces, antiques, handcrafted oddities, quack medical devices, creepy clothing, odd jewelry, skulls/bones, funeral collectibles & much more.”

Don’t worry—the Expo says all the stuff at the event is sustainably sourced and legal to own. Additionally, there will be more hands-on interaction over the weekend. You can take an introductory class on rat taxidermy, jackalope taxidermy, and entomology/bug pinning to practice those arts safely at home. The voyeurs among us can see preserved eyeballs from afar and watch a host of sideshow performers onstage at the event.
