ODDITIES AND CURIOSITIES EXPO MINNEAPOLIS! Complete tour! (May, 2024)

[@dboykinchen88]

@1:56 It's a Niffler from "Fantastic Beast" ;)

[@kellybraun7048]

I always thought nifflers were the magical cross between a platypus and a magpie. 😂 So good guess, Dav!

[@cara9648]

That snake was painted so beautifully! I love that he was just chilling instead of displayed in "attack mode".

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Agreed!

[@IrieRogue]

I LOVE ODDITIES!!! You've inspired me to locate and attend an expo post haste! Those mounted insects are AMAZING!!!!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Right?

[@IrieRogue]

Those paintings were excellent. Loved the one of Sid Haig. And the gentleman using paper towels to paint....Holy crap. Stunning. The mice heads on old post cards were adorable and hilarious

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Totally agree!

[@ShadowMythsArt]

Thank you for the shout-out of my booth (ShadowMyths)! I really appreciate it. Hopefully, I'll get back to Minnesota next year (there's no guarantee we get into the shows every year).

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

My pleasure. Hope to see you there again

[@wpsreptiles]

I love this expo, Sarah and I go all the time. The art is incredible always. Glad you went!!

[@sandywalter9728]

Especially love the dioramas inside animal carcasses!!! I mean...WOW!!!❤❤❤

[@glam_goth6662]

I have many pieces from this show! Every year I get something and even get a chance to meet artists I've ordered from! ^..^

[@reelburke]

Those mounted insects are AMAZING. As for the nails... you don't know😂

[@thecatsmeow9972]

Thanks for taking us along

[@happybasins]

The art at the expo was absolutely amazing💥

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

It was...absolutely amazing! :)

[@bigopishposh8558]

"Amaze-balls Voodoo Dolls" has to be a Tshirt soon. Or a bumper sticker....or a tattoo...or an LLC

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

I think you're right! :)

[@KimberlyLetsGo]

I got three different decks of cards by Doug Hoppes with his art on them. So cool!! I got them last year at the convention in Denver.

[@Pam-o1e]

My daughter was there this year. My husband and I went a couple years ago. Definitely interesting!

[@theabnormalosnow1091]

Looks like you did end up posting a video on it after all lol. Keep up the great work Dāv! it was so cool meeting you there!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thanks! You too!

[@sandywalter9728]

This video is fire!!! Right up my alley...i love this stuff! ❤❤❤

[@anneplowman9034]

Ahh! Minneapolis girlie here. Thank you for filming this!! I always miss this every year and I've been so curious about it. 🖤

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

It's really cool!

[@anneplowman9034]

Are you going to cover the World Oddities Expo, in November? I think it's at the Hyatt.

[@ElishaGardner-b6v]

That taxidermy with diagrams is EVERYTHING!!! ❤

[@racerx29b]

I wanted to go, but I went to Omaha to see Josh Gates Live.

[@clistiarobinson34]

Those paintings are so epic

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Right?

[@ericboff7273]

Amazing video!! So much talent! I would have thought the same, but if they come to my town, I'd definitely go and check it out! Thanks Dāv!

[@ansiaaa]

so many awesome artists! I'm from Europe and I'm so envious of this fair

[@IrieRogue]

The golden deer head with the bust and diorama was *chef's kiss* 🤌

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

That might have been my favorite

[@artawhirler]

I was there! Cool video!

[@Ididnotwanttojoin]

Distilled does not mean dehydrated, dude.

[@mortenrahm]

that was fuckin epic dav thanks for the tour and keep rocking my friend

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

[@marychase3720]

Sounds like you should do an episode on Minnesota cryptids!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

I absolutely should. Have any suggestions?

[@marychase3720]

Hmmm.. The Minnesota Iceman sounds interesting. The Wendigo! Pepie in Lake Pepin, the Dogman. Lol. You really DO have quite a selection if cryptids up your way. And those are just a few that I found to be most intriguing. Can't wait to see which ones you find most interesting to show us! 💜

[@Richiedagger87]

That $70 “cat toy” had a safety pin in it, I don’t think that I’d be too comfortable giving that to my pets to play with!

[@Kell-ic7yn]

Just subscribed love your videos glad I found it. 👍

[@pumpkinpatch5]

Wish these oddities expos could come to the UK. We are literally starved of this kind of stuff!

[@AKayfabe]

oh my gosh I also live here and would like to go see it. How long will it be in town?

[@Tonz_of_Fun]

I didn't know this was a thing and I'm so mad I missed it!!

[@dagr8]

That wasn't a Hedgehog, that was "Niffler," & the 'Hedwick" the owl both from are from "Wizarding World" & "Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them" & "Harry Potter."

[@squishbychel2026]

Hedwig 😊

[@animallover4ever229]

If they come around again I am going man those moths were amazing! I want one!!

[@clistiarobinson34]

That is neat!!!!!

[@sherrybiery315]

❤😊 recently seen an expo like this at AG Hall Allentown Pennsylvania!

[@t-bonerising9230]

Good content brotha🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@beccawilkins7350]

What’s the name of the booth that was selling the plaid shirts with the tarot on the back?

[@GabbityGabby]

Dav, my fiancé and I are planning on going to Minneapolis for our honeymoon. As someone who lives there, can you recommend some places we should absolutely check out? We love reptiles, spiders, and antiques/oddities

[@artawhirler]

Well, if you come here on the third weekend in May next year, you can spend your honeymoon at this very event! 😊

[@GabbityGabby]

@@artawhirler Thank you, we will keep that in mind for next year 🙂

[@faithful_to_the_bay5487]

Dav is right at home 😀

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

So true!

[@tillywallenstein]

It´s a Niffler at 1:58. Magical creature from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

[@vanessavieux7283]

I love it have a cool day

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thanks! You too!

[@gasperkanoni8838]

🌈🐉🇸🇮 greetings from Slovenia

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Greetings!

[@darkcrystal2198]

I went to one in Oregon. There was tons of stuff in jars.

[@IrieRogue]

You definitely picked the best t-shirt 💯

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thanks! I love it!

[@sixtycrown4713]

Hey Dav, a bit of education on the - odd - chance you make another similar video in future. "Coffin" and "casket" describe separate burial container styles. The two terms are not interchangeable although frequently misused as such. 4 sides = casket. 6 sides = coffin. Parallel sides = casket. Tapered sides = coffin. Coffins fell out of US favor in the 1920s although are still used abroad. This message brought to you by a funeral historian. ☺⚰☠

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thank you! I didn't know that and I won't forget it! :)

[@sixtycrown4713]

You're welcome. Keep up the good work.

[@Missie_Mae]

Every year I plan to go to this and then forget. 😢

[@ElishaGardner-b6v]

That is Hedwig from Harry Potter and Nifler from the Fantastic Beasts series!! 😂

[@sherrybrzeczka7966]

I'd guess the number of nails but I'm afraid the slumped over scary baby doll next to them might be the prize. Hard pass! What a fun and interesting expo! Thanks for taking us along!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

It might be that...it might not lol

[@kylamulvanity7706]

I’ve been to the one in Baltimore Maryland ❤they are fun definitely interesting

[@jefftatro8871]

We've got Edgar Allen Poe, next to him is "Johnny". (Print of Jack Nich😊olson).

[@nicholas87541]

This expo sounds different and interesting!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

It really is

[@revzombie]

The head mount was an echidna.

[@louisababe4078]

Im so disappointed in myself for not knowing about this!!! I literally live 5 minutes from the convention center 😑

[@shawnkiesel5349]

All those people in west Virginia didn't see a snow owl

[@LanceKirkman]

Yup... #EmbraceYourStrange That was weird as F #RattleOn

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Sure was!

[@gingerhansen1902]

Oooooo!! 👀

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Did you get to go at all?

[@gingerhansen1902]

@@DavKaufmansAdventures I did not. I have a pet sitting gig this weekend. It looked awesome, though. I'm glad you posted about it. It's been shared. ❤️

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Thank you :)

[@CarbonFiberSwan]

I think the “platypus” thing was an echidna wasn’t it?

[@viralnorn9173]

Just discovered your channel recently, mostly because you visited a zoo in my town. I really enjoyed the creativity in this expo. And the people watching was off the charts! Thanks for sharing it. I also love critters!

[@DavKaufmansAdventures]

Awesome! Welcome! Don't forget to check out my other two channels as well!

[@heathersurprise3381]

[@reptiletailz108]

I have to say that bearded dragon truly upset me it looked like he was made to die in that position that is cruel I love oddities but not when animals are abused in the mission

Oooh! So close!

[@DW-kr6iw]

👀

[@jasonatkins1095]

I like watching your content but I didn’t appreciate the comment about the moth man …… a lot of people believe the sightings were more. Don’t pick out just one to make a trash comment about, any cryptic creature is obviously just that because of the lacking of scientific proof to back up the existence of…. Moth man was spotted in other places not just WV ….. I could say the same about your Minnesota cryptids 😊

More like satanic arts and crafts show, odd yes it was.

[@denisemiller4083]

Some of these taxidermy presenters are surely sociopathic, are likely dangerous people. If they do those things to animals I wouldn’t put being a serial k past them.

[@randygunn9499]

420 nailz

[@steveklick]

That place is disgusting dude. If I didn't know what that place was going unto it then I would just leave. I'm sure a lot of the people there were also disgusting.
