FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BRIDGEPORT, CONN. —
This Valentine’s Day weekend, fall in love with the darkly extraordinary.
Cvrated by Ryan Matthew Cohn unveils its first permanent retail showroom with a two-day grand debut, February 14 & 15, from 12–5 PM. Step inside a world where the beautifully macabre meets museum-quality wonder—part gallery, part cabinet of curiosities, and entirely unforgettable.
Hand-selected from the personal collection of artist and master collector Ryan Matthew Cohn, Cvrated showcases rare artifacts, provocative artworks, and singular treasures steeped in history and mystery. Cohn is internationally recognized for his iconic “exploded skull” sculptures and as the co-host of Discovery Channel’s cult-favorite series Oddities (2010–2014).
Regina M. Rossi and Ryan Matthew Cohn
In 2017, Cohn and his wife and creative partner Regina M. Rossi co-founded the now-renowned Oddities Flea Market—an immersive, multi-city spectacle celebrating the strange and unusual, with upcoming stops in San Diego (April 11) and Bridgeport (June 13). The duo are also the bestselling authors of The Witch’s Door: Oddities and Tales from the Esoteric to the Extreme (2024) and the hosts of Atlas Obscura’s Antiques and Their Afterlives.
This is more than an opening—it’s an invitation into a world of rare beauty, shadowy stories, and the thrill of discovery.
