When it comes to strange or unusual objects, there’s no place in North Carolina quite like the Museum of the Bizarre located right on Wilmington’s waterfront. Step inside and be swept away by objects that could make you smile, or wince, or worse…

Welcome to the Museum of the Bizarre, where curiosities fill the space with enough real (and possibly not real) items to just make you wonder.

The Museum of the Bizarre is a fun, family-oriented attraction found in the waterfront district of Wilmington.
