About
The business was referred to by David Sedaris as "the greatest shop in the world."
With the tagline “Antique Scientific Instruments and Old Oddities” Nautilus, an amazing little shop in Turin, feels more like an 18th-century wunderkammer than a modern store. Phrenological collections of skulls and trepanning forceps share space with walrus tusks and German botanical models. As curio cabinets of old divided their collections into Medicalia, Artificialia, and Naturalia, the owners clearly intend to collect and preserve in addition to selling.
