Viktor Wynd's Little Shop of Horrors was located in Mare Street Hackney and dealt in taxidermy, shrunken heads and all things odd.[10] Viktor Wynd Fine Art was a commercial gallery where over 50 shows were curated including on Mervyn Peake[11] Tessa Farmer[12] Leonora Carrington[13] and Stephen Tennant[14] In 2014 the shop and art gallery were converted into The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & Natural History[15] and a bar[16] following a kickstarter campaign[17] The Society has a long association with Hendricks Gin who have sponsored 'The Hendrick's Quarterly Seance'[18] and seem to currently be sponsoring the exhibitions program on Alasdair Gray, Gunter Grass & Mervyn Peake.[19]
