THE ODDITIES AND CURIOSITIES EXPO VISITS ATLANTA

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 1/30/23

Enjoy a showcase of all things weird.


The Oddities and Curiosities Expo, the original traveling oddities event that hits major cities across the country and features 150+ oddity vendors and artists, is returning to Atlanta, Georgia and expanding to a two-day event on Saturday, February 11th and Sunday, February 12th.

Tickets start at $10 and can be purchased at https://odditiesandcuriositiesexpo.com/tickets

The Oddities and Curiosities Expo draws people from all walks of life who enjoy the strange and unusual and the event offers something for everyone. Visitors will have the opportunity to browse and shop for a wide variety of rare and unusual items from local and national vendors including taxidermy, preserved animal specimens, original horror and Halloween-inspired artwork, antiques, handcrafted oddities, skulls, bones, and funeral collectibles.

In addition to the vast array of vendors, the expo will also feature photo ops, tarot reading, sideshow performers, and concessions.

“The Oddities and Curiosities Expo was created purely out of the excitement of bringing communities we care about together through events,” said Michelle Cozzaglio, who owns the expo with her husband, Tony. “Honestly, we had no idea it would turn into what it has today! Our goal has always been to uplift those around us while giving everyone, including ourselves, the opportunity to truly do what they love.”

The Cozzaglios have been taking The Oddities and Curiosities Expo on the road from coast to coast for the past six years after observing there was a market for this type of large scale event. Long-time collectors of oddities and obscure memorabilia themselves, the pair also own a record store and screen printing business, and operate punk festivals across the country.

Guests of The Oddities and Curiosities Expo are also able to purchase tickets to day-long taxidermy classes. Saturday students will learn to build their own full sized rabbit mount and Sunday students will learn to build a Kit Fox Head Mount.

In both classes, hosted by The Sleeping Sirens, students will work with sustainably sourced frozen animals to learn the basics of taxidermy and will be provided with a variety of tools and materials.

The Oddities and Curiosities Expo also hosts The Oddities Museum which will have their curated show “The Cryptic Collection of a Mad Clown”. The museum is a 1,600 square foot carnival sideshow reminiscent of big top attractions of the early 1900’s. For an additional $7 ($5 advance), guests can be taken back in time to an old carnival and gaze upon real and rare oddities.

It is important to note: All animals in the taxidermy class and other parts of the show – like preserved specimens – are sourced ethically and died of natural causes.

EVENT INFO

The Oddities and Curiosities Expo will take place Saturday, February 11th and Sunday, February 12th from 10am to 6pm at Atlanta Convention Center at America’s Mart located at 240 Peachtree Street NW, Atlanta, GA 30303.

Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door and children 12 and under are free. The event is all ages – however parents are advised to use their best judgment about if their children should attend.

Tickets can be purchased at https://odditiesandcuriositiesexpo.com/tickets

The Full Rabbit Mount Taxidermy Class will be held on Saturday, February 11th and the Kit Fox Head Mount Taxidermy Class will be held on Sunday, February 12th. Both classes, hosted by Heather Clark of Sleeping Sirens Art & Oddities, take place from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. with breaks built-in for lunch and exploring the expo. Each class is $235, and is available to those aged 16 and up, or younger with parental approval. All materials and tools will be provided. Tickets for classes also include admission to the expo.

Enthusiastic reactions to the exhibition have also been received from top media outlets including Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Magazine, Atlanta News First, Paste Magazine, Muggle Net, WSB-TV, and more.

The iconic experience invites fans to experience the behind the scenes magic firsthand. As the exhibition heads into the closing weeks, visitors are encouraged to bring a friend on “Two For One Tuesdays,” a brand new ticket offering that gives guests a fantastic paired price for a limited time.

Harry Potter: The Exhibition Atlanta allows fans the chance to celebrate the wonder of the Harry Potter series as well as and the wider Wizarding World in this unique and interactive way. Upon check in, personalize your experience by picking your Hogwarts house, Patronus and favorite character wand and then earn points for your house throughout the adventure. The spacious galleries encompass over 38,000 sq. ft. giving visitors the unique opportunity to go behind the scenes, engage and walk-through iconic environments including The Great Hall, Hogwarts classrooms, Hagrid’s Hut and The Forbidden Forest. Test your Quidditch skills, place your name on Marauder’s Map and see film costumes, props and artifacts up close in the incredible Exhibition.

To top off the one-of-a-kind experience, the Café features an inspired food and beverage menu, including savory and sweet items and specially themed drinks such as “The Philosopher’s Stone,” a special mix of cranberry, lime and pineapple juices with a splash of soda and an Edible Smoke Bubble, completing the magical presentation.

Guests also can enjoy the retail store with official licensed collectibles and treats including bespoke art from MinaLima, the graphic design duo from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts films, bottled Butterbeer, notable snacks like Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Botts Every-Flavor Jelly Beans, and exclusive Harry Potter: The Exhibition Atlanta items only available in store and online for a limited time.

“This will be the only time my fellow Atlantans will have the chance to see this immersive exhibition with hundreds of original props and costumes that were actually used in the movies,” said Tom Zaller, President and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions. “With only weeks left, this is a must see for all fans of Harry Potter!

Harry Potter™: The Exhibition Atlanta Reviews:

“Harry Potter: The Exhibition fills a particular niche in the Harry Potter fan experience. Where the theme parks might offer interactive, true-to-world elements and a visit to the London studios offers a behind- the-scenes look, Harry Potter: The Exhibition is a unique and effective meld of the two.” – Atlanta News First

“One of the biggest and best-selling book and blockbuster movie franchises of our time has set up shop in Downtown Atlanta. It’s called Harry Potter: The Exhibition.” – WSB-TV

“My husband and I had a great time embracing all of the fun callbacks and designs, and it’s also fun to be around others who are pointing things out and delighting in these flourishes as well. Bottom line: I recommend it.” – Allison Keene, Paste Magazine

“If you love the franchise’s costumes, this is the place for you.” – Atlanta Magazine

“Visitors get to see themselves on the Marauder’s Map, see a first edition copy of the book version of “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” – Gwinnett Daily Post

“Harry Potter: The Exhibition in Atlanta, Georgia, is a breathtaking experience that will take you from one world to another.” – Muggle Net

“The replica set pieces are impressively accurate, including Harry Potter’s tiny cupboard quarters under the stairs before he joins Hogwarts, Hagrid’s huge chair and the telephone booth … that serves as the visitor’s entrance for the British Ministry of Magic Headquarters.” – The Atlanta Journal- Constitution
