curiosities ♦ oddities ♦ antiquities
Our benefactor , Miss Eugenia Emmelian Havisham, once said “The pursuit and the discovery of the unknown, the wonderful, the curious, is something that has long lived in all of us but has been forgotten. Now is the age to awaken it in all of us.”.
Curioporium is your doorway into that awakening. Walk through our doors into a atmosphere that makes the impossible possible. Curiosities and curated antiquities have been gathered from all parts of the known and unknown world for patrons of all ages to explore with all their senses. From unearthed artifacts from the troll tombs of the Dovre Mountains in Norway to excavated Septarian Dragon Stones from Madagascar, your curiosity and imagination will awaken to find the veil between worlds a little thinner. We’re a refuge from the banality of the norm and a bridge into the forgotten.

Curio of the Moment
Tuatha de Danaan Druid
Discovered preserved in a burial mound in the Newgrange burial mound in the Boyne Valley by Miss Havisham . This druid is truly a one of a kind find and can be traced all the way back to the beginning days of the Eire.
