The Goods
Lovers of steampunk and quirky decor unite! Sure, the storefront is a bit creepy, but there are some incredible hidden gems here. The Evolution Store sells unique natural history collectibles usually seen only in museums, such as butterflies, fossils, seashells, skeletons, medical models and tribal art.

The Secret
A landmark in Manhattan's SoHo art district since 1993, The Evolution Store now offers online orders and affordable shipping. If you're searching for quirky artwork in your home, the life-size anatomical posters' prices can't be beat. Another stellar find? A legally imported Ostrich egg for less than $30.

Things to Know
All specimens from The Evolution Store are obtained from paleontologists, entomologists, anthropologists and others who supply museums and private collectors from all corners of the world. In other words, there's no better way to turn your home into a private museum, displaying the most unique goods from across the globe. Happy hunting!
