Vol. I — MMXXVISept 19–20, 2026

World of
Curiosities

A sanctuary for the obscure. Natural history, science, exploration, artistry & the wonderfully unusual — assembled beneath one roof like never before for September 19th and 20th.

Beyond the ordinary lies a world of wonder.

Join collectors, naturalists, artists, scientists, makers, and explorers as they share the stories behind Earth's most fascinating treasures — from fossils and minerals to insects, taxidermy, natural history, oddities, and the beautifully unexpected.

For two unforgettable days September 19th and 20th, the International Centre transforms into a celebration of curiosity, where every booth has a story, every collection sparks conversation, and every visitor leaves inspired.

Come curious. Leave inspired.
