Viktor Wynd’s freaky Museum of Curiosities in London

A former call centre in Hackney has been transformed into a cornucopia of curiosities guaranteed to delight and disturb.

Viktor Wynd describes his Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art and Unnatural History as a ‘pataphysical wunderkabinett’.

It is set in a former call centre in Hackney,

The museum collection includes two-headed lambs and a mermaid from Fiji as well as condoms used by the Rolling Stones.

A cabinet dedicated to dead people includes a shrunken head and parts of pickled prostitutes.

There’s also the petrified remains of blood Viktor claims to have squeezed from a stone, probably the best indication of how seriously to take the collection.

Viktor describes himself as an artist, author, lecturer and impresario.

He is also a leading exponent of pataphysics, a difficult to define philosophy intended to parody science.

In this video, Viktor takes the good people from truly on a tour of his museum.

He shows off his favourite pieces, including a gold-plated hippopotamus skull that once belong to Pablo Escobar.

It’s a true taster of what to expect when you visit.

The museum has a fully-functioning absinthe bar too, where you can end your visit by sampling unusual spirits, from the old world and the new.

Chin, chin!
