About

Hello,
My name is Nikki,
I’m the Curious Canary.

 

I’m a global wanderer in search of uncovering unique experiences, unusual finds, and bizarre histories. Growing up in the deep South led me to be inspired by the things “we’re not supposed to talk about,” and this has given me an insatiable urge to always ask “how?” and “why?” I am fascinated with macabre and grim items and the roles they have played throughout human history. Why do we run in fear of something so natural in modern times?

My goal is to collect as many strange, weird, and rejected items from the present and past in order to make them more approachable for those teetering on the edge of the fringe. I want to encourage the viewer to willingly explore and discover “dark” objects and unpopular history and have a deep desire to ask more questions.

☠ But why all the bright and happy colors? ☠
History can be dark, a cheery juxtaposition adds a layer of humor to it all.
