    My wife and I are practitioners of the arts, and while wandering through the French Quarter we…read morestumbled upon Dark Matter Oddities - Oddities and Artisan Collective. What an incredible find. Whether you're a practitioner, a collector, naturally curious, or simply someone who enjoys the unusual and macabre, this shop has something for everyone. The diversity of items available is impressive. From cards and books to ethically sourced bones, handcrafted artwork, curiosities, and so much more, it's impossible to list everything they offer. Every corner of the shop holds something fascinating. While photos and videos aren't permitted inside, I can say that the space itself is thoughtfully curated and filled with amazing handcrafted pieces created by talented artists and makers. I was fortunate enough to speak with one of the owners, who graciously allowed me to take a single overall photo. I didn't want to spotlight just one artist and risk overlooking the incredible work of others who have poured their hearts and souls into their creations. When we visited, Shelby and Port were working, and they truly made the experience memorable. I was having a rough day after getting overheated, but Shelby patiently answered every question I had with both knowledge and kindness. They even took the time to explain concepts in ways that newcomers and non-practitioners could easily understand. Port was equally wonderful. We spent time swapping stories about oddities we'd encountered and discussing items on our wish lists. They were incredibly knowledgeable, even educating us on regulations regarding which oddities can and cannot legally be shipped in and out of Louisiana. What impressed me most was how welcoming the atmosphere was. I walked in as a customer and left feeling like I had made new friends. I'm currently waiting on my purchases to arrive and honestly feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. If you're skeptical, curious, morbidly inclined, a collector, a practitioner, or simply looking for an unforgettable experience in the Quarter, do yourself a favor and stop by Dark Matter Oddities. Come for the curiosities, stay for the conversations, and be prepared to leave with a story or two of your own.

    Let's hear it for women-owned in NOLA! Dark Matter is the shop that I recommend to all my friends…read morethat are visiting NOLA. Literally all (unless they are boring). I jest. None of my friends are boring and they all love this shop because it has something for just about anyone that loves art and unique items that you will not find in your typical souvenir shop. All of it comes from actual makers, not a factory (like your typical tourist trap on Decatur). I also shop here for gifts. For myself... and those I love. For Christmas, my husband bought me two tiny paintings, one of my favorite bird, a raven and one of a skull holding up a glass of wine. I cherish them! I have a thing for tiny framed items and these came in elaborate mini frames that look so gorgeous on my mantle. There is a lot packed into this beautifully arranged shop. They have jewelry, taxidermy, bones, sculpture, paintings and so much more. Definitely for all your goth and witchy amici!
