    Curiosity Expo! Will I come home with a taxidermied warthog or a steampunk muppet hat?

      I had never heard of this one. Seems like a good way to spend an afternoon. I won’t be able to attend unfortunately which is a shame, I’m looking for a smallish antler rack.

        No actual antlers to be had. Plenty bad art with them…

          Let us know what your favourite curiosities are there if possible. Maybe a photo or two to share with the class?

            Didn’t take any pics. One place had a flying lizard specimen which was tempting. The oddest was probably the teapots with bits of ex-fox for handles and spouts. Interesting, but no thank you.
