INTRODUCTION
When we launched Atlas Obscura in 2009, our goal was to create a catalog of all the
places, people, and things that inspire our sense of wonder. One of us had recently
spent two months driving all over the United States searching out tiny museums
and eccentric outsider art projects. The other was about to set off for a year of travel
in Eastern Europe. We wanted a way of finding the curious, out-of-the-way places
that don’t often make it into traditional guidebooks—the kinds of destinations that
expand our sense of what is possible, but which we would never be able to find
without a tip from someone in the know. Over the years, thousands of people from
all over the world have joined us in this collaborative project by contributing entries
to the Atlas. This book represents just a tiny fraction of what our community has
unearthed.
Though Atlas Obscura may have the trappings of a travel guide, it is in truth
something else. The site, and this book, are a kind of wunderkammer of places, a
cabinet of curiosities that is meant to inspire wonderlust as much as wanderlust.
In fact, many of the places in this book are in no way “tourist sites” and should not
be treated as such. Others are so out of the way, so treacherously situated, or (in at
least one case) so deep beneath the surface, that few readers will ever be able to visit
them. But here they are, sharing this marvelously strange planet with us.
This book would never exist without the incomparable and indefatigable Ella
Morton, who has spent the last four years researching, writing, and crafting the phys-
ical object you hold in your hands. Nor would it exist without our incredible com-
munity of users, explorers, and contributors. Every one of you out there who added a
place to the Atlas, made an edit, or sent in a photo: You are all our co­authors. Thank
you. Though we have tried to check the accuracy of every fact in these pages, please
don’t book any plane tickets without first doing your own independent research. Or
do! Just be ready for an adventure.
We often ask ourselves just how large a truly comprehensive compendium of the
world’s wonders and curiosities could ultimately be. The economics of printing and
the dimensions of the page set limits on what could be included in this book. But
even our website, which faces no such constraints, can never be complete. There is
an Atlas Obscura yet to be written that is as comprehensive as the world itself, for
wonder can be found wherever we are open to searching for it.
