They have a mummy This place is great shopping loads of old antiques and ancient arcade games. All manners of crafty do dads and nic nacks. This place is great for something different and the it is located on the waterfront so the view is free. The pier it is on also has the original Ivars (See review)

Plus it's located right along the water of Elliott Bat, which is so nice - a great walk on a sunny day!

There are mummified people, shrunken head, carcasses of all types, pickeled two headed pigs, etc etc. For me, I get a little weirded out after about 10 minutes and can't take anymore. But, I strongly suggest you go there at least once. Bring your tourist frien... read more
