Golden Curiosity Shop in Denver, CO

At The Terrorium Shop, we’re excited to introduce our golden curiosity shop — a truly special place where nature’s wonders are celebrated through living art. We’re passionate about creating unique, beautiful arrangements that honor the magic of Earth’s creatures, whether alive or passed on. Whether you’re a collector, a nature lover, or simply someone searching for one-of-a-kind art, our shop in Denver, CO, offers a stunning selection of ethically sourced specimens and natural treasures.

What sets The Terrorium Shop apart is our dedication to ethical sourcing. Every bone and specimen in our golden curiosity store comes from animals that have died naturally — no creatures are harmed for the sake of art or collecting. We steer clear of endangered species and strictly follow the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA). Our materials come from a variety of mindful sources, including bones found on local hikes, roadkill collected responsibly, donations from pet owners, and salvaged items that would otherwise be thrown away. We also work closely with local reptile shops, breeders, and family farms to ensure everything we use is acquired responsibly.

One of the things that makes our golden curiosity shop unique is our use of dermestid beetles to clean and prepare bones. These incredible little beetles allow us to preserve delicate bones carefully, supporting a natural process that respects the cycle of life. Using dermestids helps us protect the integrity of every piece while supporting the ecosystem—a perfect reflection of our philosophy to honor nature with respect.

Alongside our bone and insect collections, all the floral elements we use are sourced locally. Our flowers come from a trusted Denver greenhouse or our own garden during the summer months. For living moss, we partner with a small family operation in Washington that practices ethical foraging. Sometimes, we also gather unique finds ourselves during Colorado adventures — always making sure to follow local laws and environmental guidelines.

Whether you stop by The Terrorium Shop in person or explore online, you’ll discover a carefully curated selection of natural art that celebrates the mysterious beauty of the world around us. From butterfly wings to preserved bones, our pieces are perfect for collectors, educators, and anyone inspired by the magic of living adornment. Reach out to us and experience the wonder of nature’s cycles at The Terrorium Shop — your trusted golden curiosity store, where every item tells a story of life, transformation, and deep respect for our planet.
