@CuriousMuseum on Twitter is rapidly gaining followers by becoming a P.T. Barnum for the digital age. Scrolling through their feed is taking a walk through The Museum of Curiosities, putting on display freak show attractions, weird history, and just stuff you’d never knew existed otherwise. Give it a follow and take in the curious glory of eggs with clown faces, eyeball rings, and for some reason, a ton of naked people hanging out with skeletons.

Since 2017, he and his curiosities have been trekking across Europe, showing off their weirdness, selling curios. and singing songs. You can buy the albums on their website, and even some objects from the Twitter feed are on sale.
