Awesome experience if you’re visit g Dunedin. We loved meeting Bruce and talking to him about his collections and artworks (as the sign on his desk says, he’s very friendly!). Such an amazing and well curated collection.

An experience you won't forget! So much to see here, and there's bound to be something to interest everyone - allow a good hour.
This eclectic collection of all sorts of bones, skeletons, desiccated animals, and Bruce Mahalski's unique bone and coral art, is interspersed with vintage kitsch dolls, curios from Seacliff mental asylum, paranormal artefacts and much more.
The labels tell the often intriguing or quirky background and origins of each exhibit, and the old Otago Museum display cases are perfect.
Bruce also sells some of his art, plus t-shirts, books etc.

It was the best place that we visited in Dunedin NZ.
Alot of info, Nice collection and the owner did really really hard work collecting all the bones, skulls and designing the arts in the place.
Really recommend it!
