The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History, Cabinet of curiosities museum in Hackney, England
The Viktor Wynd Museum displays natural artifacts, taxidermy specimens, artwork, and peculiar items across multiple themed departments in a former call center.
The museum opened in 2015 through Kickstarter funding and follows the tradition of pre-enlightenment Wunderkabinett collections that celebrated natural and artificial wonders.
The establishment holds regular exhibitions featuring artists like Alasdair Gray, Mervyn Peake, and Gunter Grass while maintaining the largest public collection of Austin Osman Spare works.
Located at 11 Mare Street near Bethnal Green tube station, the museum operates Tuesday through Friday from 15:00 to 23:00 and weekends from noon.
The collection includes dodo bones, extinct bird feathers, tribal skulls, scientific instruments, and a cocktail bar serving traditional absinthe from antique fountains.
