The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities


What am I looking at? 
Nino and lil sister had an educational day out at the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities. Pictured are the remains of infant conjoint twins. 

Sounds freaky? 
It begins with an ominous decent down a rickety spiral staircase. Dora the Explorer spurs you on flanked by the aforementioned twins. At the bottom a cabinet of dead eyed Victorian china dolls greet you, along with a two headed lamb and a variety of phallic idols...

Sounds peculiar. 
There are a lot of old pornographic photographs containing transsexual and quadriplegic performers. We’ve always been fascinated by shrunken heads and there are quite few of those here too. Number one odd item was the gold cast skull of a hippopotamus which belonged to infamous drug baron El Chappo. He accumulated so much money he was able illegally import wild animals to Mexico where he kept them as pets. This documentary gives a great account of his life and trade.

Ok. What were your favourite items? 
If you weren’t aware already, Nino loves the Pagan shit. We enjoyed sitting up close with a myriad of Satanic artefacts including a Witches bible and items of furniture with goat hoofed legs.

Great. Thanks. Bye.
