Curia Arcanum's House of Curiosities

Spellbooks, taxidermy, and tarot readings, oh my! What better way to ring in spooky season than a trip to this South Austin gem? Brush up on your witchcraft with their wide selection of mythical literature or spruce up your place with their ghostly antiques and specimens. They even have guest psychics and live performances. Keep up with their schedule on their Instagram.

I cannot give enough praise to the people that run this shop. They were so sweet and patient with me looking through all they had! It's such a cool shop/ oddities curated pieces. You HAVE to see it in person to understand. Wish I could stay upstairs all day just to watch the Munsters lol I'll definitely be back with friends!

The vibes of this place are IMMACULATE! It's tucked away in an unassuming little spot, and we kinda struggled to find it, but we messaged them on Instagram, and they gave us helpful instructions to find them! If you're a gothic decor/oddities lover, this is the place for you! It's absolutely beautiful, and I had an amazing time just walking around! This place is like decor goals for me 💀 give it a visit! Can't recommend it enough!

It was a great experience! I went with ny friend to find this place. It does look like the buildings are half living space but the front-Congress facing- is retail. The place had well priced goodies and we ended up taking home more than we needed to because the prices were so fair. The curated book selection was also really well done. I'd go back again.

This place is AMAZING! Super friendly staff, that will give you the back story behind each item. They will answer any questions but they also don't hover over you, making you nervous. Prices are really fair too. I bought more than I originally intended just because I want to support such an amazing place!
