Join us to learn and celebrate the strange, the bizarre, the weird, and yes - even the odd. The New York Curio Society presents short talks that revolve around a central theme.

Ask Peculiar Questions…

…Get peculiar answers.

Back in 17th Century France - wait, wait, bear with us, it’s relevant! - a tradition of hosting curated social gatherings to discuss art, literature, philosophy, and science was born. The Paris Salon quickly became an institution, sparking conversation and curiosity among the elite and the bohemian. The Curio Society continues in that rich tradition, but with a modern flavor. (Now you’re asking, “What flavor? Chocolate? Vanilla? Rocky Road?!?” Don’t worry there’s something for everyone.) We bring stories from history to life with good ol’ research, Power Point, and a heavy dose of fun.
