Wynd says "My museum’s Spare Room is dedicated to the great Occultist Austin Osman Spare, in 2017 I fulfilled a long held dream and curated an exhibition of his work in the museum, and produced these archival prints in editions of 100 with certificates of authenticity signed by me as a way to finance the exhibition."

The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History is a contemporary reinterpretation of a Pre-Enlightenment Wunderkabinett or Cabinet of Curiosities. It is the creation of artist and writer Viktor Wynd, who has just opened a Falmouth branch of his museum inside the National Maritime Museum. His most recent book 'The UnNatural History Museum' was published by Prestel in 2020.
