Ye Olde Curiosity Shop

Home of the weird, freaky, interesting and curious, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop is a museum and gift store. We have collected quite the eclectic mix of treasures since we opened in 1899. We have interesting items for sale such as jewelry made with real insects, butterflies in frames, and wallets made of recycled materials. Our gift selection includes Seattle's own Glass Eye Studio's hand-blown ornaments and paperweights, as well as Northwest Native American hand-carved totem poles and masks. We also have fair trade gifts from Central and South America, Africa, and Asia.

Our collection of oddities and curiosities ranges from genuine mummies and shrunken heads (tsantsa), to freak farm animals such as two-headed cows and four-legged hens.
