The Unassuming Illinois Shop That Just Might Be The Strangest Store Ever
If someone told you that there was a vintage shop full of taxidermy, strange medical devices, skeletons, and other creepy items hidden in a quiet neighborhood of Chicago, would you believe them?
We wouldn’t have either, until we came across Woolly Mammoth Antiques & Oddities. Their unique selection is like nothing you’ve ever seen before!
Nestled in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago among cute boutiques and delicious restaurants, you would never see this place coming. Search for the neon signs and take a step inside...if you think you're ready for it!
If you just glance around, it might look like a regular antique shop. But, take a look closer and you'll find some pretty wild items.
Though the shop is full of all kinds of bones, skulls are some of the most popular items. Take your pick of tons of different types of animals; they truly have it all.
From fake limbs to old surgical kits, those with an affinity for the strange will certainly find something to purchase. The old syringes are especially unsettling.
There's something so creepy about their painted smiling faces. If you are at all afraid of clowns, you might want to cover your eyes!
If a deer above the fireplace just isn't interesting enough, you can always find something unexpected at this shop. Why not take home an angry squirrel or a hissing cat?
Woolly Mammoth Antiques & Oddities is located at 1513 W. Foster Ave in Chicago. More information and hours can be found on their website.
