You don’t have to buy a taxidermy baby calf or embalmed spleen, but you might get the chance this weekend when the “Oddities & Curiosities Expo” comes to the Tampa Convention Center.

And if you don’t want a dead animal on your mantle, the traveling expo also features vendors selling jewelry made from bones and insects, wet and dry preserved specimens, and more.

The best part? All items you see at the traveling show’s second to last U.S. stop will be legal to own and sustainably sourced.

Oddities & Curiosities Expo. Saturday, Nov. 13, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. $10 & up. Tampa Convention Center, 333 S Franklin St., Tampa. odditiesandcuriositiesexpo.com
