About

This curious and macabre oddities shop in Toronto sells dead people—parts of them, that is.

The store is packed with a macabre medley of taxidermy and preserved specimens. There’s a whole assortment of human remains for sale, like skulls, shrunken heads, preserved brains, and mummy hands. 

There’s also a menagerie of exotic animal remains, including some vintage taxidermy, as well as prehistoric dinosaur fossils, and ritualist artifacts like necromancer’s masks and cannibal trophies. (The shop points out that all the objects are legally and ethically collected.) The shop space is shared with a large education center called the Prehistoria Museum. 

Update as of March 2022 The storefront has reopened post-Covid lockdowns.
