storytelling
Step inside Dublin’s weirdest new attraction for an evening of unhinged storytelling, surreal performance and unsettling encounters in the dark corners of the Museum of Curiosities.
Wander freely through its cramped, winding rooms, where every creaking floorboard echoes a Victorian sideshow. Downstairs, try your luck at oddball games, decipher devilish mysteries, or sit for a tarot reading if you’re brave enough. Upstairs, local storytellers, musicians and raucous mischief-makers conjure gothic tales and murky scenes of bizarre horror.
Your host for the evening is the museum’s eccentric and unpredictable curator, Monsieur Pompier, who’ll share the stranger than strange histories behind some of his collection’s most unnerving artefacts.
Expect the unexpected in this nocturnal adventure where every corner hides a story and every object has a deliciously dark past.
