About

This little shop is intriguing, ever-changing, and the ultimate emporium of weird and wonderful oddities and merchandise.  

Some of its permanent residents include a taxidermied two-headed calf, an old spider girl sideshow booth, and Eyeris the cycloptic ewe.

This is the place to find every weird thing you never knew your heart desired—from wet specimens and taxidermy mounts to antique medical supplies, and even real human bones, teeth, and skulls (yes, it is actually legal to sell and possess human bones in the United States). They also have cool art, cards, candles and collectible pins from local and regional artists to fulfill any peculiar, creepy, or cryptid-related need you may have. The friendly and welcoming owners are often around and love sharing stories about their strange finds with the shop's customers.

Cleveland Curiosities is a must-stop for everyone looking for something off-the-beaten path to do in the area. Stock changes constantly and is always one of a kind, so every trip is a new experience!
