Presented by the Curator and Professor John Alexander MacRae

Awe’s Curator will share the harrowing stories of some of the museum’s most wonder-ful, most awe-ful, and most unbelievable exhibits. You’ll see the skull of Charles Darwin, the Bucket of Immortality, vampire stakes from the VanHelsing Collection, the world’s smartest hat, and much more! Learn the history of the museum, and the backstory of the notorious, globetrotting, previously feral Curator! Everything in the Museum is real, and everything the Curator tells you is true.


The Curator was first found living as a feral child, but went on to explore the eleven corners of the globe, acquiring curiosities, oddities, artifacts, and relics all along the way. He opened the Museum to share his experiences and knowledge with the world. Everything in the Museum is real, and everything the Curator tells you is true.

Professor John Alexander MacRae, Curator Emeritus
