From the Austin World / Places

Museum of the Weird

Browse a small collection of sideshow-style oddities on Sixth Street. The appeal is theatrical curiosity rather than conventional natural history, and stairs limit access to parts of the museum.

Why go

Choose this stop if you enjoy the strange, macabre or deliberately improbable. The compact museum offers a different mood from Austin’s major art and history institutions, with its own storefront setting inside Lucky Lizard. It is a distinct attraction within Sixth Street rather than another name for the entertainment district as a whole.
