Museum of Unnatural History

This fictional museum has a very elusive online presence. I saw one image from the lot, and figured I would find a plethora of articles, photos and information. After all, The Museum of Unnatural History is a sensational concept.

I could only find this site, which does not even list authors or contact info. I’m intrigued. I want more.

The collection boasts one of the finest arrays of fictional charts, specimens, and products I’ve cast my eyes on.

For my dear cynics and nihilists:

The simple re-branding of everyday objects is genius.

This one makes my geek senses tingle with delight:

Why are there no links to buy these products?

I highly recommend the rest of the collection.

[EDIT] Because I have such awesome readers, there is now more info in the comments. Here is an article about the brick and mortar store. Scan the comments for a series of links about the purpose and history, courtesy of Rich. Thanks, guys!

This place has officially been added to my “destinations” list!

  1. This collection is from the storefront shop for 826DC In Washington DC. http://826dc.org/ It is part of the 826 group of non-profit writing centers for kids http://www.826national.org/ It started in San Francisco as 826 Valencia http://www.826valencia.org/ Most of the centers have a shop in the front with a fantastical themes like pirate supplies, time traveler supplies, etc. They don’t usually sell their items online as these are walk in items available locally at their shop to draw people in to the center. Oliver Munday is the designer for many of the items in the store.
