I stumbled upon this place while I was visiting the Long Beach area and I was not expecting it to be so cool. Its not a large gallery maybe a little over 1000 square feet, but its packed with all sorts of cool, out of this world, and very macabre pieces of art and merchandise. The employee that was present was very courteous and when asked if I could take pictures of the pieces, was very encouraging of me doing so. I really took my time with everything because as soon as I thought I had seen the whole exhibit, something brand new caught my eye. If you love dark, twisted, and, of course, awesome art, dont hesitate to pop in.

Incredible art from established and emerging artists. Not afraid to share a strong point of view while remaining financially accessible to collectors of nearly all income levels.

A very straight forward beautiful niche of a business..a few blocks from my house and the art and oddities this place displays is impressive. It is just getting better with age.. and letting us dark artists shed some skin.

One of the best Galleries in all of SoCal! Along with their monthly art exhibits they also have a salon style wall of rotating pieces, books, oddities (including human specimens), and much more all for sale for a wide range of budgets.

This place is so intriguing! Went for the first time today.Many neat things, from the human skulls beautifully carved..too the art work.Presentation is on point.The vibe is good, walking in, you feel drawn to enter more.The art work is impressive.Have a open mind.I would of gave 5 stars but I was not greeted or asked if I needed assistance.I was intrigued by the gallery of oddities and knowing more would of been a delight.However when I did ask questions, he was kind and knowledgeable.I will be returning!!And bring a few bucks...10 bucks will get you a couple cool things !More money the better though becsuse this place has some original stuff!

Great night tonight. Excellent artists showing off their talents. Exhibition is over, but the place remains open. If you like a taste of the dark side or are curious, stop by anytime they are open and come take a look for yourself.

This place is so ghoulishly cool. I enjoy going through every part of this place so I dont miss a thing. A goth girls place, for sure. Read the book titles they have for sale, they are entertaining and the taxidermy is fun.

I was an out of town visitor and this store showed up on my phone map as a point of interest so tried it. Interesting place, beautiful art work, displays of some animal skeletons (goes with the macabre theme), but I found humerous paintings (loved Frankenstein on a motorcycle chopper style).
