Clearwater, FL
A Clearwater antique house where taxidermy, wet specimens, medical equipment, creepy dolls, skulls, vintage clothes, photographs, signs, furniture, and one-of-a-kind objects fill a store that feels like a private museum.
Frank Miranda's Oddities & Antiques stretches an antique shop into a museum-like collection of taxidermy, medical curiosities, dolls, specimens, vintage clothing, art, ephemera and strange objects gathered by artist and collector Frank Miranda.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Antique store, taxidermy cabinet, medical-curiosity collection, vintage-clothing shop, doll room, natural-history display, art gallery, and eccentric private museum.
The dense old-house environment makes the experience feel like entering one collector's strange world rather than browsing a conventional antiques floor.
Oddities & Antiques in Clearwater is the physical collection of Florida artist and longtime odd-object hunter Frank Miranda. Taxidermy, wet specimens, antique medical equipment, creepy dolls, old photographs, vintage clothing, skulls, furniture, signs, artworks and one-of-a-kind collectibles occupy a shop that frequently feels more like a private museum than a retail store. Current first-party activity continues to show new odd objects entering the collection and the store operating on a limited Thursday-through-Saturday schedule.
