Field notes
Why it belongs
Oddities shop, local-art market, jewelry counter, candle shop, taxidermy cabinet, and classroom operating inside a former funeral-home building.
The setting and rotating artist inventory make the store feel closer to a communal cabinet of curiosities than a conventional boutique.
Located at 236 S. Scott Avenue in Downtown Tucson, Mourning Star Curio Shoppe brings together more than 20 local artists and creators inside the historic Brings property. Its merchandise moves across oddities, bones, taxidermy, insects, jewelry, candles, art, handmade pieces, self-care goods, and small curiosities, while pop-ups and entomology classes add an experiential layer.
