I love this place there's always something different plus they negotiate and have things on sale that you'll never find anywhere

Fun place to Christmas shop for that person who doesn’t give you any ideas. You’ll always find something random and unique

During one of our stops, we visited Iowa City to eat. There was a really cool antique store across the street the girls wanted to check out. This place had all kinds of goodies. I loved the old camera section.The kids found so many things that they thought were so cool. The amount of younger people in the store shopping for clothes and jewelry was awesome to see as well.I loved that there were little couches around the store that you could sit down and take in all of the surroundings.I highly recommend if you are in the area to stop in and see what treasures you may find.

I give it 3 1/2 stars. Artifacts has always been one of my GoTo places for fun when I lived in Iowa City. and when visiting Iowa City. It's lost a little of the magic with its expansion. True, I was delighted early on when I saw how they had cleaned up the place and that you could walk down the aisles without turning side-ways. But a great deal of the charm for me in a vintage 2nd hand store is its messiness and sense of discovery and finding a delightful oddity. In my last two perusals I felt I saw less impossible to pass up treasures, especially in the book section. The December 2023 Little Village has that horrible ad for Artifacts--Vintage Is Sexy--the naked man in the bathtub. There is nothing sexy about a poorly framed photo of a man cramped in a plain bathtub with an ugly vanity inches from his head. Heaven forbid you would find anything similar to the tub or the vanity in the actual store. What happened to the original Vintage is Sexy photo using a full length picture? It was clever, funny, and eye-catching--a great spoof of Rock Hudson lying naked in a tub from the Doris Day movie PILLOW TALK. Please dig around your old drawers and bring the original back. This is a unique vintage store that has undergone a recent expansion. It is well worth the visit. I found the prices reasonable and the staff okay.

This place has quadrupled in size, since I last visited. So many cool old furniture and glassware pieces.

I love this type of antique store. A find in every nook. I always love just looking around and finding things. Very reasonably priced as well.

Artifacts is unique enough and merchandise moves so quickly that I make it a point to visit the store at least one or more times per month. As a lifelong collector, I can tell you confidently that this store always has something to offer that will be quality, unusual, collectible, and worth the trip. The owner, Todd, loves the "unboring" stuff of life, and has a great eye for collecting for the store and finding consigners that have "great stuff". I NEVER visit Iowa City without making this a "must stop" destination.

I'd go in without too much extra baggage because you're bound to knock over a wide variety of haunted artifacts and bring a poltergeist home. Prices vary quite a bit, and the organization was really thoughtful and helpful. Staff is cool too!

This is a glorious mixture of the past, available in a well-lighted, decently organized walkable maze.
