The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History

Super fun, quirky little museum/cocktail bar… No waiting time for a table at least in the early afternoon. Short but sweet list of cocktails, most include absinthe so be careful. Shame they didn’t have available some snacks (only nuts)

This might be my favorite place in London. Spooky, creepy, and cool. Great cocktails, loved the chocolate absinthe. You must go downstairs after taking in the vibes upstairs with a drink. The basement is a fascinating collection of oddities. They all must be seen to be "believed".

SO cool! I thoroughly enjoyed the museum. Such a great collection. The only thing I wish it had was more information like more text plaques on the side so that I could glean the greatest amount of information possible! 10/10, I will be back. £12 entry for adults, unless you book a table for cocktails in advance, then I believe it's £8 entry to the museum. (NB: must book BEFOREHAND. You are not eligible for the discounted fare if you have a drink without booking through the website). The cocktails were nice, but since they aren't cheap, I'd recommend only planning on staying for one or two, rather than a whole evening. Lovely staff. Banging alternative music. 5* will be back!

This place is absolutely insane and cool, the staff were incredibly kind and sweet! Obsessed with the skulls and strange artifacts as well as buying a mother pearl carved with a dragon (thank you Mitch, very sweet of you to give me the stand and tote bag 🥰). Overall amazing experience and for the price along with really tasty drinks and visuals, 100% worth it. I recommend to anyone with taxidery interests and wonders of the weird 🩶

One of a kind museum with gore, erotic, weird and wonderful collectibles below the pub. It’s a cramped space with eerie feeling, and you can do all the artifacts in less than 30 mins. Recommend rebooking tickets and not wheelchair accessible as the stairs are quite narrow and space is tight. Enjoyed it

This place is definitely a recommendation for people who love mysteries and abnormal things creatures stories etc The music, the drinks, the staff, the atmosphere the prices, everything was amazing and so welcoming The drinks were very good and had a little taste of uniqueness. On weekends the place can get quite busy however if you visit in the weekday, it might be less packed. The whole museum was so unique and interesting to look at and read, especially the table room with the lioness sitting down.

It's a bar too! What an interesting place to visit, so many interesting and humourous artifacts and collectibles. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Super friendly staff and yum drinks too!

Friendly staff really good cocktails to pick from and the tour was fun. Given plenty of time to look round at own leisure after tour.

I don't know what this place is like in person but the online offerings are great and affordable. So many interesting lectures and talks. I hope there are more coming ondemand so I can catch up on what was missed. Enjoyed the 4 week magic class.

Viktor Wynd is a freak. And I say that in the kindest most honest way possible. The erotic novel, "An Enema for Emilia" is displayed in one of the many display cases found deep below the bar via a golden winding staircase. This sounds like both a dream and a nightmare, and it is. The Last Tuesday Society is a dark taxidermy lab in which you pay to learn how to stuff your favorite animal/pet. I'm coming back to stuff a crow. Seriously. The drinks are yummy and unique and the service is well above par. I enjoyed perusing the museum while trying to find the oddest most offensive thing. Sebastian Horsley in the throws of passion with a limbless lady was up there. Definitely worth visiting if you're a freak. And I am most definitely a freak, so it was right up my alley.

Headed here for a story telling session by Victor Wynd. The 8£ ticket includes a visit to the museum and a gin and tonic and a 2 hour story telling session. I will have to review each of these 3 separately as the experience with each was widely different. 1. The bar is lovely. The female bar tender was very good at her job, we only interacted with her, not the male bartender. Good variety of alcohol, but only available snack was cashew nuts (3£) for a little bowl. Cash only. 4* 2. The museum has a lot of weird stuff as you can see from the pictures. Except for Pablo Escobar's gold plates hippopotamus skull, there isn't much of a description on items. It's a tiny winding staircase down one level and 4 tiny rooms. The whole space is cramped. Great if you are only 1 or 2 people down there, not a group of 10 people who have come to listen to the storytelling. There's a lot of sex related stuff on display (books / drawings etc), so this is not a museum for the kids. For its unique character, I'd rate it 3* 3. The stories from Irish Fairy tales were interesting, but the story telling itself was not at all impressive. After a couple of sessions listening to story tellers from the Crick Crack Club, this was even more disappointing. 2* If you want to see what it's all about, head here for a drink. The ground floor with the seating for bar customers has a smaller display of items. If they intrigue you, pay up and head down into the basement for the rest of the items on display. And remember to carry cash.

When people tell you "London seems to be a normal city, but it's actually crazy", you don't believe it. Then one day you are walking on the road to the broadway market, looking at the shop windows, and hidden between two anonymous shop you see "The Last Tuesday Society". Nice name, isn't it!? Enter. Now you know London is a crazy city! This place is crazy. It really is. It's small, stuffed with the strangest things I ever seen in a shop: you can find stuffed animals, skeletons, japanese sexual images, pubic hairs (yes, you read it right), mermaids, masks, reliques..... I can't really tell you anything else about this place, just pay the 2 £ and enter, you won't be disappointed!

Hilarious, hidden, curious, eclectic, bizarre. The Last Tuesday Society shop's collection of oddities is well worth the £2 entry fee! The Last Tuesday Society is the organisation behind the Masked Ball events held every month or so. The ground floor of this shop sells tickets as well as masks and other accessories for said events. Just beyond the counter however (and accessible via a £2 entry fee) are a set of stairs leading down to what could well be the last effects of that crazy aunt you always wished you'd had. Stuffed animals. Model warships. Faded military regimental colours. Old paperback guides to coping with your first swingers party. Masses of other stuff. Just extraordinary. Hilarious. And definitely worth a visit!

I've always wanted to go and check out the Little Shop of Horrors, not even knowing quite what to expect. But somehow I never made it to this particular corner of East London despite fairly regular trips to the art galleries down nearby Vyner Street. It shop has since been given museum status - apparently the first new museum opening in London since 1901! It is now called the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art and Natural History and combines a slightly more sober exhibition space on the ground floor while the downstairs has been turned into a Wunderkabinett - and cabinets of wonder is exactly what you find once you make your way down the narrow spiral staircase. Actually, sober is probably not the right term as there's also a bar on the ground floor - the private view of a "Surreal England" exhibition was enhanced by rather strong G&Ts. The displays seem a random collection of the weird and wonderful with an emphasis on taxidermy. They also have an educational programme, perfect for those who always wondered how to stuff a squirrel or bird - tickets sell out fast! And there's lots of rude bits scattered around the displays. As there is no explanation or guidance given and you wander around making up your own stories. The closest you get to experiencing a Victorian fair ground attraction.

Interesting place. Heard about it through Anthony Bourdain's visit here on his show. A weird shop, bar or curiosities. I enquired a year ago and it was £3 to get in to see downstairs around, now it's £5. It's worth the money if you are interested in really weird almost barking mad stuff which I always am. Take a look at the pics and see for yourself.

It's very dark and dingy just how I like it! Music can be a weird selection but that's not really what it's about. Loved the absinthe cocktails. The museum downstairs is filled with curiosities and will definitely be going back (maybe a bit more sober!!) to check it out again.

I love this little bar/museum. It's a small bar with interesting drinks/snacks (roasted centipedes) with a 'museum' in the basement. The museum is a collection of the old travelling museums of the weird and wonderful curiosities. With a mermaid skeleton, humongous crab shell and old fashion moving displays (of sexual related content). If you're lucky their may be a 'reptile zoo' aka a selection of lizards, snakes, frogs, spiders for you to hold. The price is £5 which I think is quite cheep for the experience. However I like this kind of experience and spent about 30-45minutes in the museum looking at all the things on display.

The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities is one of the most peculiar museums in London. Discover shrunken heads, animal taxidermy, skulls, erotica objects & creepy looking dolls, all hidden in the basement of a bar.

I bought a massive tarantula with giant fangs here. He is very beautiful, and don't worry, he is very dead and safely housed in a box. He has been named Bernard by his new, very proud owner. How can a shop that sells spiders in boxes not deserve 5 stars. This really is a shop full of amazing curiosities, everything that you never knew you needed, but really, really love. I say love, if you are the type of person who falls in love with a tiny gold bird skull, stuffed animals or antique medical equipment, that is. The place is filled to the rafters with so many amazing things, you really do need to spend a good long while browsing it all. There are things for all budgets too, but you can really go to town and blow your budget if you don't reign in your credit card. The guy who runs the place is a joy, the website is cool ,and I am loving the idea of going to some of the lectures advertised on the website some time very soon. And and and and and (this is really exciting news)!.........!.....the massive polar bear that used to be in the window of Get Stuffed seems to be here. I found him, the hunt is over. Unless this is an evil twin that is, and the real one is still AWOL.....hummm??

Teeny Tiny store of awesome rusty dead things with a downstairs dungeon of delights. Ok fine I haven't actually gone down into the lower level, it costs 2 pounds and the cashier above was being a right wank (just had his tourist spotters on a little too tightly, I'm american but I live here damnit! chill out mannnn) I just wasn't feeling up for the adventure because of this snooty pa tooty behind the counter. I was there with a couple of friends and as I ran out of that place one of them struck up a conversation with him about victorian ballroom dancing and the snotty veil was lifted! I will come back and have a better look and let you know. I just have to ask the troll his questions three before he takes a shine to me. buwahahahaha "thunder crashes and lightning bolts" (oh my god the guy was a douche, can't say it enough, sorry)

This was weird and not wonderful. I was more freaked and weirded out than impressed and excited. Seeing jars full of semen tissues, and weird pornographic images, and monkeys with a fish's body was just all a bit too much. It's all a bit of a mess down there, with no signs even telling you what is what! All a bit too weird, and definitely not worth the £4 entry fee to go down the cramped stairs and witness the things we saw... If it was tidier, and with a lot more explanation, then I could expect an entrance fee, but paying £4 to see a lot of mess, dank smells and things that shouldn't be displayed, it was really a waste of my money... Weird and not wonderful, I would not recommend wasting your money seeing these weird weird items being (if you can call it) 'displayed'...

Wow, just wow, what a wonderful little cubby hole of a place. The reason i went to the other side of London was to buy cheap(er) tickets for their Halloween ball and what was to be found? Nothing but a veritable menagerie of random stuff, and all. Everything from rabbit's feet to bondage rope and what looked like a costume shop in the back. My visit was very brief as I'd parked amazingly illegally round the corner. What gives it the five stars was, the unique randomness of the place, all these curisities and the fact he gave me a discount on the tickets because I mentioned I was a burner :D

It's quite a weird collection, from a celebrity's piss in a bottle to shrunken heads. It's mildly interesting but was disappointed to learn there is actually a 3 pound fee to see this.... collection that takes about 15 minutes to walk through. I didn't have enough cash on me and the bartender begrudginly let me pay less like it was the biggest deal in the world. Lame. I say avoid it.

Victor Wynd's Museum of Curiosities is not for the faint hearted. It's full of conjoined taxidermy, strange skeletons, human and animal remains (including some celebrity poo) along with a decent smattering of vintage (and otherwise) pornography. I visited once before the refurb and it is definitely more slick. There also seems to be more art in amongst the oddities, however, trying to decipher the fact from the fiction is an art form in itself in this wonderfully weird 'museum' dedicated to the macabre.
