And Now for Something Completely Different...


Explanation:
It's a quote from Monty Python, so I guess it depends on the tone of the article/magazine.

"curiosities"


Explanation:
Puede que resulte muy obvio, pero un nombre "curioso" para eso, precisamente sería "curiosities".

Lo he visto empleado en inglés con el mismo sentido. En la referencia verás cómo se emplea la palabra "curiosities" para definir un conjunto global de objetos curiosos.

Example sentence(s):
  • "Cabinets of curiosities [...] were encyclopedic collections of types of objects whose categorical boundaries were, in Renaissance Europe, yet to be defined."
