Out of This World
Natural History, Space Exploration, Entertainment Memorabilia
A contemporary cabinet of curiosities
In the grand tapestry of human curiosity, there exists a thread woven with the remnants of worlds both ancient and extraterrestrial, with creatures that once roamed the primordial landscapes and celestial artefacts that traverse the cosmos.
Dinosaurs, those towering titans of the prehistoric past, have long captivated our collective imagination. Their fossilised remains, etched in stone, serve as portals to a time when the Earth bore witness to giants. But the allure of the prehistoric is just one facet of our enchantment.
Meteorites, fragments of celestial bodies that have traversed the vastness of space to grace our planet’s sur- face, embody the essence of cosmic fascination. These stony messengers from the cosmos carry with them the stories of the universe itself, drawing collectors into a quest for fragments of the stars.
Last but certainly not least, we also present you the tangible relics of cinematic storytelling, the very items used on the screen, the canvas of the imagination. These artefacts, born from the realm of fiction, hold a unique fascination, for they are the embodiment of our shared dreams and fantasies brought to life on the silver screen.
After the remarkable success of selling the first complete T. rex skeleton outside the US, and only the third one globally, we refused to rest on our laurels. Instead, we have chosen to embark on the journey of our third edition of ‘Out of This World,’ presenting to you a fresh and meticulously curated selection of Natural Wonders and Human Achievements.
