Wolf's Museum of Mystery!

We stumbled on this place while I was trying to get us to what I thought was a vegan shoe store (it wasn't, and all the shoes were lame anyway). All four of us are into the weird and gross so this is right up our alley! It was five bucks to get in and totally worth it!

The "museum" is the personal collection of a man named Wolfgang Von Mertz. There is lots of taxidermy, weird occult stuff, a real vintage iron lung, even a mummified falcon! Displayed next to x-rays showing what was inside! So much cool stuff!

 There were two cats, a black chincilla, and a HUGE dog walking around in there too. 

 They had quite a few art pieces by Butch Anthony, who has is own Museum of Wonder in Alabama that I really want to visit someday! I LOVE his art. The skeletonized paintings are my favorites. He sells them on his etsy. I want one for my collection!

 They had a taxidermy giraffe! Look at that beautiful thing!

 That is a picture of Robert Wadlow, one of the tallest men to ever live, at 13 years old! Amazing!

 I have been wanting a vintage baby caiman and this desk set is pretty incredible. Look at those bookends!

 They had a Lizzy Borden display that was supposed to be her. That is a real human skeleton! I went to an estate sale once that had one, but it sold before I could get there to see it. The photos in the back are of Lizzy Borden's father and step mother's skulls. I'm not really into serial killers and murderers but this room was really interesting.

 Elephant foot bar stools! See the cat on them? It seems so strange to me that a big game hunter would want to bring these big feet home and have them as bar stools.

Part of the upstairs was a horror movie room you can rent out to watch movies with your friends. Doesn't that seem fun? Marc and I got REALLY freaked out by this big werewolf statue that we were sure was going to move. We spent about and hour and a half at Wolf's and totally recommend it if you are into the weird and wonderful.
