The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities - (Near Hackney, london)

5 /5 kerry jay: What an awesome place!! Both bar and museum are so quirky and unique and seriously the best cocktail I have ever had (Absentini!). An absolute must visit if you are in the area!

5 /5 Andy Huysmans: Unique collection that will transport you to other worlds, existing and fantastical. If you like magical objects, dark arts, creepy stuff, mysterious treasures: this is the place! I booked in advance, and when I went down the stairs into the museum, slipped in another world for 45 minutes. Upstairs and equally darkly enchanted cocktailbar btw.

3 /5 Rob: While it does have some interesting stuff, most of is unlabelled making most of it not clear what is it beyond appearance. If the highlights are labelled then why bother with 99% of the stuff you can’t be bothered to label? It is also very cramped, I had to brush past people and some areas are so dark you can’t even read the labels. Not sure this is worth paying for personally. It’s also not really organised very well. The bar is really nice and has good cocktails and a cool vibe but the stools aren’t the most comfortable.

5 /5 Sutapa B: An very unique and unusual experience where innumerable pieces starting from hairballs, used condoms by rockstars, celebrity poop, taxidermy, dodo skeletons, double headed lamb, voodoo dolls and tribal collections are all put together in a small underground room, for you to explore at leisure The room is very small with spiral staircase leading down from the absinthe parlour above, so not good for anyone with disability or claustrophobia. We visited around the time of Halloween, so was rather enjoyable. The entry to the absinthe parlour upstairs is free and also an experience as long as you have a good staff explaining everything (we didnt and so for us it was a waste of time). Great place to visit if you are in awe of the magic, macabre and Natural history.
