About

A small shop run by a taxidermist that contains taxidermy and curious antiquities. Reasonable priced odd gifts are available here, from pufferfish to epoxy-sealed insect keychains. For gazing pleasure, there are grander scaled wonders from dinosaur bones to stuffed beasts of the African Savannah. No afternoon in the Hague is complete without a wander into the nooks and crannies of this strange shop, conveniently close to Grote Kerk.
