What a fun, eclectic mix of beauty and oddities. Dont miss this place if youre looking for something interesting and oddly historical in Astoria.

Bizarre and beautiful collection. Eccentric and exquisitely currated. Definitely a passion project.I wouldnt bring toddlers, but my four and eight year old daughters were fascinated.Look for the historic hair art both creepy and creative.Peace,Darcy

Went to visit from Washington and it was closed but Google said its open. The shop next store said they havent seen it open since last year. I would check to see if open. Maybe next time

Closed during operational hours. Was there on Friday, Oct 4th at 2PM. No one answered the phone and it was locked up tight. Call ahead if you wish to visit.

Fun museum for families, filled with various items in a large space. Enjoyed the second floor dining table and finding unique pieces. Would like to see more signage describing artist names and dates.

This is a wonderful place in a great location. The entry fee for families are very affordable and the displays are unique and playful. Trish was a wonderful museum host and told us the interesting history of the building and its renovation. The museum is located also in the downtown near other shops and restaurants. I would highly recommend this museum. Our children enjoyed it as much as we did.

Very creative. What imagination. Exhibits and arrangements are so whimsy and fun to explore. Spend a couple of hours walking through and then relaxing on the second floor as you enjoy the view. Take school field trips or your family for an afternoon. You wont be dissapointed.

Wonderful museum full of unique and amazing displays. Downstairs is full of antique dolls, costumes, art and more, plus an aviation library. Upstairs is furnishings, table settings, a boudoir, more displays of belongings collections, and other wonderful things. Self guided touring so you can take your time. Entry fee is a nominal $5 per person or $10 per family.

This place is a hysterical gem in Oregon. The woman who runs the show is incredibly knowledgeable about all things bizarre and artsy, and is exceptionally generous. It is small, but very much worth the trip if even just to view the wall mounted dioramas. A decent collection of local artists also sell some jewelry and prints here as well!

Fun, engaging, whimsical; this place lives up to its name. There is so much to explore, and the grand theme pieces itself together with every discovery. Located inside a historic Bank building, the architecture invites such a collection of this kind. Worth the trip inside.
