Lonely Planet review for Obscura Antiques

This small cabinet of curiosities pleases both lovers of the macabre and inveterate antique hunters. Here you’ll find taxidermy specimens (like a bear’s head), butterfly displays in glass boxes, photos of dead people, a mounted deer-hoof, disturbing little (dental?) instruments, old poison bottles, glass eyes, frock coats, Victorian corsets, miscellaneous beakers and other items not currently available at the local department store.
