oddity

An oddity is something strange or unusual that catches people's attention. You might see an oddity at a museum or an art gallery.

Oddity is one of those words that can have different meanings depending on how you use it, but most often it means something that stands out as weird or unexpected. For example, if there's a painting in an art gallery that looks like a mix of animals and cars, that could be considered an oddity. People might look at it with curiosity and wonder why someone created such an unusual piece of art.
