Cranbourne Boutique — A Cabinet of Curiosities at the Natural History Museum

#hellohalloween


Tucked beside the grand exit of the Natural History Museum, the Cranbourne Boutique isn’t just a gift shop — it’s a curated extension of the museum’s wonder. Stepping inside feels like entering a modern-day cabinet of curiosities, where science meets style and every object tells a story.

The first thing that caught my eye was the replica dinosaur skulls — detailed, weighty, and surprisingly elegant. Some were cast in resin, others in polished stone, their textures inviting touch. They weren’t just souvenirs; they were fragments of awe, scaled for the shelf.

Nearby, crystal geodes and marble fossils glimmered under soft lighting. Amethyst clusters, polished agate slices, and trilobite imprints sat like geological poetry — ancient, beautiful, and surprisingly affordable. Each piece felt like a time capsule, a tactile reminder of Earth’s deep memory.
