The Evolution Store, SoHo


How did I not know about this place?

"Evolution sells unique natural history collectibles usually seen only in museums. These include butterflies and beetles, fossils, seashells, skulls and skeletons, medical models, and tribal art."

Of course, I am particularly fond of the fossilized dinosaur teeth, available for $24.


The store looks like a 17th century kunstkammer. They even had a conjoined twin fetal skeleton on display.
