About
Join us for Todd Browning's classic sideshow spectacles with a gallery pop-up by The Oddities Museum! FREAKS (1932) | Dir. Tod Browning | 64min. A circus' beautiful trapeze artist agrees to marry the leader of side-show performers, but his deformed friends discover she is only marrying him for his inheritance. THE UNKNOWN (1927) | Dir. Tod Browning | 68min. On the lam, criminal Alonzo hides in the circus as The Armless Wonder – a performer who uses his feet to hurl knives. Alonzo keeps the arms he really has concealed to hide his identity. Meanwhile, ringmaster’s daughter Nanon has a phobia of being touched by men, but is romantically pursued by not only Alonzo but the strongman Malabar. Alonzo’s desperation to remain with Nanon will only end in tragedy. — ABOUT THE ODDITIES MUSEUM Throughout history, man has captured his thoughts, feelings and perspectives into his own creations and the collecting and utilization of Nature's creations. From the drawings of cave men, to the Eiffel Tower - man is intrigued by "stuff". I am no different, except maybe I appreciate a lot of "stuff". The Oddities Museum & Rainy Day Revival are an experience. Sure we are selling these things I've collected for years and displaying new treasures every day, but we are also sharing with you a unique and wonderful world. We are open to philosophical conversation, simple perusing of the curiosities and even soul searching. This is a safe haven for all those with eclectic taste. We are not here to judge, but to embrace. In fact, as we grow, so will our amenities including art shows, pod casts, photography and workshops. Come open your minds. See things you have never seen before and become part of the beautiful community.
