Uncommon Objects

Uncommon Objects – A Treasure Hunt Like No Other Absolutely worth the drive — Uncommon Objects lives up to its name and then some. Every inch of the space is packed with bizarre, beautiful, curious, and one-of-a-kind finds. It feels like stepping into a museum curated by the world’s most interesting collector, but everything is for sale. You’ll find vintage oddities, antique pieces, art, taxidermy, ephemera — stuff you didn’t know you needed until you saw it. The layout is thoughtful, the vibe is eclectic and welcoming, and the staff is helpful without hovering. If you love the weird, the rare, and the storied, this place is a must. One of the coolest shopping experiences in Texas.

I came to Austin for an AI internship this summer. Just finished my first week and started my first weekend. I arrived at Uncommon Objects on a sunny Saturday afternoon, and stepping inside felt like walking into the attic of the world’s most fascinating collector. This antique store isn’t just a shop—it’s a curated maze of the bizarre and beautiful. From the life-sized giraffe statue greeting you at the entrance to a surreal taxidermy goat dressed as a Victorian officer, every corner has something that stops you in your tracks. I spotted wooden eggs, turtle shells, preserved reptiles in jars, and even a mummified animal foot. A little unsettling—but mesmerizing. Some displays felt like time capsules: vintage figurines of Chinese deities sat beside Dutch maidens and porcelain dishes. Others leaned into the strange and whimsical—a giant rabbit loomed over shoppers like a mascot of eccentricity. The store layout invites exploration, with each booth revealing a new personality and era. It’s not a place to "just shop"—it’s an experience. You’ll leave wondering if you visited a museum, a curiosity cabinet, or a dream. I didn’t buy anything, but I left with a dozen stories. This is one of Austin’s weirdest and most wonderful treasures.

This antique mall is chalk full of really nifty objects. The vendors all have quality items, and the way everything is displayed by color is pretty cool. I may not shop here again though. The prices (even though most are in fairly good condition) are outrageous, beyond what I am personally willing to pay. I’m not saying "don’t go" or "stay away." It’s just not a place for me. It was fun to walk around and browse the beautifully artful way the entire store is set up.

Uncommon Objects is my favorite place to go for unique gifts and embellishments to create jewelry/purses. I'm also a collector of letters and photos and find many of my collectables here. When my husband and mother were alive, I often purchased their gifts here. My mother was Roman Catholic and loved religious items and my husband, the opposite, loved occult items. I easily found gifts for both of them here. If you're an interior designer looking for beautiful stage pieces, this should definitely be one of your first stops! Wonderful place with wonderful folks. Looking for unique gifts? Uncommon Objects is the place to go.

Foi o melhor antiquário que já visitei em todos os tempos! É imenso, mas dividido em pequenos ambientes. Os objetos são muitas vezes organizados por cores. Há uma variedade muito grande e os preços são justos. Vale a pena a visita. É muito fácil de estacionar e os proprietários são muito simpáticos.

Quite literally the best shop I’ve ever been to. Could have bought half the shop if money were no object. Amazing.

Pricing is CRAZY. It cool stuff. A good place to go to window shop.
