Step into the strangest cabinet of curiosities you’ve ever seen! This 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle from Galison packs in narwhal tusks, dinosaur skulls, hammerhead sharks, and a whole team of coat wearing cats running the show.

Description

Illustrator Hye Jin Chung fills every shelf of this curio shop with something wonderfully weird, from a narwhal tusk and cow skull mounted on the wall to a teal octopus dangling overhead, a hammerhead shark and eel suspended from the ceiling, and a full dinosaur skull propped in the corner. Green shelved walls overflow with jarred specimens, glowing skulls, tiny monsters with one giant eye, a rack of beetles and butterflies, and shells and crystals in every color. In the center of it all, cat scientists in white lab coats climb ladders and stools to tend to a towering shaggy white creature covered in pink bows, while a marbled egg glows softly on the table below. This 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle is dense with color and detail from corner to corner, making it a fantastic seek and find style build for puzzlers who love a busy, offbeat scene.
