A customer came into The Curatorium recently, looked around and proclaimed, “I get it, it’s a store full of things that YOU like.” Well, in a way, she was correct. I DO like everything here. But there is a larger, more universal thread; everything in The Curatorium is well considered. Both the $5- insect stickers and the $240- star lantern are well designed, well made, useful, amusing, attractive, even irresistible. The plush warthog was probably made as a child’s toy. That it gracefully balances realism with charm guarantees its appeal to adults too.

Part design store, part Natural History Museum, part small-town gift shop, The Curatorium offers something for everyone, and gifts for all occasions, in all price ranges. For now, you’ll have to come to Providence to visit the store. For those of you unable, or foolishly unwilling to come to town, there will be an e-commerce part of this site someday soon.
Regards,

Matt Bird, Chief Curator
