curio shops
Rare collectibles retailers
Curio shops are small stores selling curiosities—unusual objects, antiques, collectibles, and oddities that appeal to browsers and collectors.
The term evokes cluttered spaces filled with eclectic merchandise: vintage jewelry, folk art, taxidermy, old maps, exotic imports.
We spent the afternoon wandering through curio shops in the French Quarter.
