This is truly an amazing place to find very unique items and works of art celebrating the beauty of the natural world.Whether you are a science nerd (paleontologist, entomologist, herpetologist, etc.) or just someone that appreciates beauty, this store is truly a Wonder emporium. What makes it uniquely meaningful is that Jean-Michel is eager to share wonderful context and information about each specimen.
Absolute best place in SLC if youre into biology, wet/dry preservation, or just slightly morbid art.The owner both sources and makes some truly fantastic pieces, and the more affordable stuff is very reasonably priced. I got a lovely little carpenter bee for just $20, including the nice display it came with.Cant wait to come back!
Natur is great if youre looking for taxidermy, preserved insects, or stones. The butterfly and beetle collection is especially delightful, with plenty of extra pieces ready for mounting in the drawers you can lose yourself in. The owner and operator is friendly and knowledgeable, and is happy to tell you the story behind each piece, and each piece has quite a story. If youre looking for a piece to turn a room into a discussion, theres plenty of entire wall pieces. You get what you pay for though, and the quality of the pieces does not always come cheap. That said, the abalone and mineral selections are cheap options if you still want a great looking piece.
I absolutely love this place. They are the nicest people Ive ever met and the stuff they sell is just gorgeous. The gentleman who owns this place is very fun to talk to and is always happy to tell you you anything that you would like to know about the things in his gallery.
I had such a great time here! It was like a wonderland of deceased things living their second lives! I will definitely be going back to purchase more products! The owners really nice and super educated on the specimens in the store. LOVED LOVED LOVED my first experience here! Ill definitely be back!

One of the greatest men Ive known in my life. One of the coolest exhibits Ive seen in my life.
Love this place has some cool stuff. A must see. I promise you will love this place
This store was so fun to be in! The owner was very friendly and informative. I never felt hurried or pressured to pick an item. I’ll definitely be back!
They had a nice array of taxidermy items that were affordable and well priced. Staff was helpful and nice!
My entire family enjoys coming here. A real gem!
Jean Mitchell is such a talented, kindhearted and very informational soul. His store brings beauty to this world
One of the best places I have ever been. The gift ideas are second to none. The owners are amazing people and you wont be disappointed going there.
Amazing. Love this place. Very knowledgeable and full of great stories and information
Amazing finds, beautiful pieces! Truly a museum experience!
My friend and I discovered this store today. They have some really cool stuff in there!
Amazing store! Great friendly and knowledgeable owner. Glad I went in, stop by if you havent!
The owner is super thoughtful and helpful. The store is neat and well organized.
Always above and beyond service! My son really wanted to visit the store when he was here from out of town. We arrived 10 minutes after they closed and the owner was kind enough to let us in for a brief period of time so that we could shop.Exceptional knowledge and quality. I will be a shopper forever!
I’ve been buying stuff from here for years and I recommend this place to anyone. The owner is extremely friendly & will teach you whatever you’d like to know. I love all my creatures I’ve gotten from there. 10/10
An amazing experience with magnificent life forms, Jean-Michelle has a vast knowledge and passion for his work! Would highly recommend to brighten any day.
This is a lesser known spot in the Salt Lake area that everyone should absolutely take the time to check out. The first time I came I was a little hesitant about looking at taxidermy, but the work in this shop is just incredible. The owner has such a passion for it and nature and living things, he is so inspiring to talk to, I could spend an entire afternoon here.
Very fascinating! Super helpful & nice staff.
Very passionate owner. This is a great place for hobbyists, nature lovers and art lovers. Great conversation-starting decor as well
This place checks all the boxes...- Amazing pieces that inspire an appreciation for the natural world- First-rate service/experience from the owners. They are as knowledgeable as they are enthusiastic- High-end museum quality items which are perfect for any room (office, living room, study, etc.)Just visiting the showroom is a prize in itself. Highly recommend it to family and friends.
These guys are amazing and are very knowledgeable! Excellent customer service and an amazing selection, I could be here for hours. The best place to go if you are looking for specimens, if you choose a loose specimen they will let you choose whatever frame you like and do everything for you however youd like it done if you choose to have it framed. Definitely my favorite place in Utah!
I love visiting Natur! Such a wonderful place, and lots of cool and fun specimens, insects, and gems/jewelry on display. Jean-Michel and Carla are awesome and very helpful in answering my questions and ensuring each visit is a memorable one. I love shopping here and finding those neat and rare gifts and treasures. I highly recommend this place!
This cabinet of curiosities is a must visit! My first visit two days before Christmas. My 15 year old daughter said she wanted something from this shop, but when I first walked in I was concerned the beautiful items would be unaffordable. I am very happy to report that there is something for every price range and even the bigger items are much more affordable than you might think when you first walk in. Every item in the shop, from the lower prices to the higher ones, have had a lot of work and effort put into them. I used Google maps to find Natur, otherwise I may have had a difficult time as Im not familiar with this area, so Id recommend using that. This is one of my rare 5 star rated places. Perfect place, perfect experience (the people there are wonderful) well deserved! Thank you!
The owner is very pleasant, he takes his time to answer any and all questions. My brother take some of his mentality challenge clients to his store and Jean is always kind and welcoming especially to the kids. I tell all my biology classmates and teachers about this store. They are amazed we have a store like this In the Salt Lake valley.
Such a beautiful place! Great atmosphere and the owners are more than happy to answer your questions. We got to tour the place with Jean-Michel, he told us about everything. He even took out some of the live spiders. Very reasonably priced and a great way to spend an evening.
Most exquisite display of bones, animals and incets I have ever seen
Natur is an amazing place! I love looking at all of the interesting bugs and animals that are available. Jean-Michel is a great guy and is always helpful. He knows his stuff and could tell you everything about each item. I recommend going and checking out the store!
I love this place! Not only are all the pieces beautifully crafted but the customer service is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend.
Such a cool shop run by a smart, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful gentlemen. The variety of specimens can’t be beat! I certainly ended up walking out with a lot more than I went in for, but I certainly didn’t mind. Plan on spending as much time as you can because youll find more and more the closer you look. Natur has a lot of hidden treasures!
This was such a neat experience!! I was in awe by their artistry in preserving the beauty of nature. There was a sense of reverence for lives of these creations. I cant wait to don their pieces in my home!!
Beautiful gallery! Amazing pieces and very nice people. Not a thing over-priced. I cant wait to return. :)
Beautiful store wonderful staff
One of the coolest stores in Utah. Incredibly unique gifts, and always something to look at. So so cool!!Getting a unique butterfly gift for family!
The owner was so kind and welcoming, and the gallery is awesome! Will definitely be going back.

Amazing place....awesome pieces of art....even better customerservice...Id give it a 5 million stars if i could....i stumbled upon this Amazing gallery of wonders today and i will be back for more...
Our kids love this place! Honestly so do we! If you are ever looking for a unique, interesting gift this is the place to get it. The person who has everything, does not have these! The owner is very helpful and takes the time to teach you about his products.
A fun unique place to shop or explorer cool and unusual aspects of nature.
Such an amazing, and wonderful place! The owners are very informative, and easy going as well.
Very knowledgeable and friendly, so much to explore and learn in such a small place! Love it!
Wow! This place is just absolutely beautiful. The owners are very kind, and the prices arent too bad either. I bought a scorpion bracelet for my husband, (who hates surprises) but he loved it! My sister told me about it, and I did not expect it to be just so breathtaking. Totally worth a visit.
This shop is absolutely stunning. There are so many beautiful pieces. The closer you look the more you seem to find! My husband and I had a wonderful time coming here and appreciated the fact that there were pieces that were very affordable among the stunning high priced items. The shop owner is an absolute gem, he is so knowledgeable and so kind. I will be bringing the rest of my family to visit in the near future.
My wife and I love to visit this place. The owners are very friendly
Tonight we went by with a group of young men from church. We were there for about 45 mins and still didn’t get to see everything. There is so much here to learn and discover. Jean-Michel and his wife Carla were so informative and helpful. I’ve never met people so genuinely happy about their business. It is truly what they love to do and you can tell that from the moment you walk in.
Must see!!! I have lived in utah my whole life amd dont know how I missed this place. It is a store, but feels like a museum (a good one). You learn so much here and find so many different unique things. Plus there is pricing for all. Go there talk to the owner who is very passionate about his hobby and store. Fun to learn, great for adults or children. Cant find a gift for those hard to buy for people, but on a budget here is your place for all! Go you wont regret it. ****Natural deaths, no creatures are harmed****
This gallery is amazing!! There are lots of creepy dead things, so its not fot the weak hearted. The guy that runs the shop is super friendly and was willing to explain his process and show us his upcoming work.
This shop is the perfect blend of science and art. The owner is kind and is not only knowledgeable about the origin of the species displayed in each piece he does, but is pasionant about the process of turning it into art and is eager to talk with the customers and share his insights.This is easily my favorite shop to visit in all of Utah.
A very cool store. The owner is super friendly. He even let my kits hold his pet gecko. I will be back.
Absolutely phenomenal shop. The owner/curator is super friendly and knowledgeable. The collection in the store is amazing, and very reasonably priced for what hes selling. One of the best taxidermy shops Ive been in.
Love this place.
We had gone to the store with 3 young children just as the store was about to close and Jean, the owner, spent about 45mins talking to them, answering (all) their questions and sharing his genuine interest in animals with them. He allowed them to handle his pet python, encouraged them to not be afraid and to see its beauty - by the end of it, they were thrilled and proud. Thank you! The store is a hidden gem, everything is beautifully displayed... definitely worth visiting whether you are a bug/animal person or not, you find it interesting and worthwhile.
Ive been coming to natur for over 2 years now and each visit is always pleasant. They recently moved literally right next door to a bigger space and its beautiful! The owner has always been more than friendly and super helpful. Everything is well priced and absolutely stunning.
Gorgeous specimens. I could spend all day and I wish I could spend all my money here.
This shop is extraordinary. The owner is very enthusiastic about his art, and for very good reason. There are several different kinds of items to be purchased or commissioned from here. He has an extensive butterfly collection (and can identify any butterfly you bring in yourself). He has articulated skeletons from snakes and moles to foxes and toucans. He has several items that would seem macabre to talk about, but are very tastefully and creatively produced. There is a live fish tank, and several fossils. The artist also loves to talk about anything in his store, and is very much open to questions. My toddler also loves to come to this shop and it gives us a great way to openly talk about how death is an important part of life.
One of the most incredible stores Ive ever been too! Impeccable specimens. Amazing articulation work. The owner couldnt be kinder and more informative. Go check this place out
I was looking for somewhere educational and cool to take our Webelo group, this was it!!! Amazing! The boys, and us leaders, enjoyed every moment in the shop. Mr. Arrigona took time out of his day to talk to us and was super informative and patiently answered all the questions we had. I will definitely return! :)
Amazing store run by amazing people!
It is extremely awesome to walk around in. The employees are very very helpful and kind. Would very much recommend.
Love love love this place. Has a plethora of great gifts for the critter lovers in your life and great pieces for an avid collector.
Really amazing place with lots of diverse stuff - the owner is really awesome and helpful, especially if you are looking for anything that isnt for sale currently. Will definitely be coming back!
Best vibes, coolest place ever!!
Super cool stuff thats museum quality!
I absolutely love this place. Huge selection of framed and set insects, wet specimens. From unique gifts and jewelry to the semi macabre. Something for everyone!
The owners are really nice and let us hold the different live specimens and it was just a good experience overall
So beautiful & unique! I will be going back, even just to look. My cousin is getting a custom piece made so theres that. I loved that there was so much displayed and the music playing was perfect.I have told all my friends and family of this Natur.
What an amazing blend of art and science!
This shop is amazing. All kinds of specimens, beautiful locally made jewelry, rocks and minerals, and ways to display all of the above. The owner, Jean-Michel, is always there. He is visibly passionate about his items and is happy to show them off and tell their stories without any pressure to buy. There is even a tarantula or two that can be held, and he will instruct you on how to do so safely.
Owner is very knowledgable and friendly. An amazing store with unique treasures. Want everything in there.
The coolest shop in SLC! The owner is full of information about all the specimens and totally accommodating. He shared some awesome stories with us and packed everything up to keep it safe on our flight back home. Would highly recommend.
Absolutely fantastic presentation of all specimens. Such a nice guy too.
My daughter and her boyfriend come to this store all the time, and I finally was able to visit. They have a tarantula and my 7 year old is very curious about it but a bit apprehensive too. The owner was very kind and took the time to educate her a bit about it and even trusted her enough to let her hold it. But besides that, the store is beautifully put together, with all kinds of rare and amazing pieces. Now I know why this is my daughter’s favorite store.
Absolutely amazing pieces, one of my favorite stores for truly unique gifts. I highly recommend everyone checking this place out, definitely one of a kind in Salt Lake
Great place I absolutely love coming here and its a really cool place to check out and the owner is very friendly too I will always try to reccomend this place to my friends so I would definitely say come check it out if you have a chance.
Love love love visiting Natur Showroom. Always something new and beautiful to see and such a cool shop to have in the Salt lake valley. My husband and I have purchased many preserved specimen pieces from here and love the work and care put into making the art. The owner is very passionate about his work and very knowledgeable.
Such a interesting place with a lot of distinct items. The owner was so kind and thorough in explaining his art.
I love, love, love this store. The owner is amazing, he is so kind and so helpful. The products are beautiful and you can definitely see how much effort and care he puts into his work. The art is truly stunning and I have never had a negative thing to say.
Wow what an amazing place! Very cool to take someone if you want to check out peculiar skeletons and taxidermy.
