The Museum of Curiosities (Nottingham)

The Museum of Curiosities in Nottingham is a walk-through collection that leans heavily into the paranormal: shelves and cases packed with unusual artefacts, macabre displays, and items presented as haunted or linked to unsettling stories. The venue describes itself as one of the UK’s most haunted museums and frames the visit as an immersion into “the wonderfully weird,” rather than a traditional academic museum.

The experience is spread across four floors and is designed to be explored at your own pace, with admission valid for the day so you can leave and return. There are also after-hours VIP tours promoted for groups, which push the paranormal angle even further.

It’s a good fit for This Cursed Earth because it sits in that grey zone between folklore, horror entertainment, and curiosity-collection tradition: not “dark history” in the strict sense, but a dense, atmospheric space where the stories are the point, and the mood is deliberately uneasy.
