Viktor Wynd is the proprietor of the museum, which he calls London's infamous Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History, and has spent twenty-five years telling traditional tales from the Brothers Grimm, The Arabian Nights and many countries to audiences across the globe. Each ticket includes a complimentary glass of Devil's Botany Absinthe, from London's first absinthe distillery, and early bird tickets cost £15 with full price at £20, with only 30 tickets available.
