Welcome to The Museum of Curiosities — Dublin’s newest and most unique destination for connoisseurs of the odd, the macabre, and the marvelously misaligned. Nestled within the walls of 35 Pembroke Street Lower, our museum is a living Wunderkammer, a modern-day cabinet of curiosities bursting with objects that defy explanation and delight in their strangeness. As Ireland’s first Museum of Curiositi

es, we offer a rare chance to experience the bizarre like never before. Wander through shadowy halls lined with shelves of bottled specimens, charmingly dreadful taxidermy, arcane medical instruments, mummified oddities, haunted dolls, sideshow wonders, Victorian relics, sorrowful clowns, and curios that flirt with the edges of reason. Every item has a story — a whisper from the past, a fragment of forgotten history, or a nod to the deliciously bizarre. The Museum began its life in the digital ether — a humble Twitter account sharing peculiar images from the depths of the internet and archives. It quickly gathered a following of likeminded lovers of the unusual, and over the years, it morphed and twisted its way into a physical form. At the helm is the elusive cabaret performer Monsieur Pompier, whose love for the surreal and the uncanny has shaped every corner of this strange little world. Whether you are a seasoned oddity hunter or a curious newcomer, the Museum of Curiosities invites you to step inside and lose yourself in a world that dances on the edge of absurdity. This is no ordinary museum. This is a home for the overlooked, the forgotten, the grotesque, and the glorious. Come one, come all — and prepare to be delighted, disturbed, and utterly transfixed.

Our curator Paul tries on the Merke Thermocap, an early 20th-century quack cure for baldness. He strongly denies needing such a device, but adds, “Better to stay one step ahead of it than wake up and find it’s already too late.”

I bought this doll off a lady in France who said her grandmother claimed it was haunted. 👻
When I pressed her for more information she said she only remembered two things her grandmother told her about the doll. Firstly, it could apparently turn its own head at will and secondly that it was occasionally heard to whisper her grandmother’s name, Agnes, in the middle of the night.

This account feels more credible than many so-called haunted dolls sold online because the eBay listing did not mention anything about it being haunted in the title, only a brief note in the description that would not have shown up in search results.

Dr Macaura's Blood Circulator 🩸

The Blood Circulator or Pulsocon, created by Irishman Gerald Macaura, claimed to improve blood circulation by producing up to 5,000 vibrations per minute through a hand-cranked device. Patented in 1902, it was sold as a cure for many ailments. In reality, most users employed it as a vi****or.

Macaura was not a real doctor, and his claims led to protests from medical students. In 1914, French authorities convicted him of fraud and sentenced him to three years in jail.

On display now at the Museum of Curiosities, along with a plethora of other quack medical devices.
