Unusual Museums



The Mütter museum in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, not Sunderland) is class if you're interested in skin diseases and pieces of Albert Einstein's brain.
 
This is actually quite good

National Museum of Funeral History | Houston Funeral Museum, History of Funerals - NMFH

This is a good one too. They do an annual parade through Houston

Art Car Museum | The Art Car Museum is a private institution dedicated to contemporary art. It is an exhibition forum for local,national and international artists with an emphasis on art cars, other fine arts and artists that are rarely, if ever, acknowledged by other cultural institutions. The museum’s goal is to encourage the public’s awareness of the cultural, political, economic and personal dimensions of art. The Art Car Museum, or “Garage Mahal” as many know it, opened in February 1998. It was founded as a not-for-profit arts organization by Ann Harithas, artist and long-time supporter of the Art Car movement, and James Harithas, currently Director of the Station Museum of Contemporary Art, Houston, Texas.

And I thought lightwater valley every single year was bad....

But looking about and it seems there's loads of these really obscure museum's across the UK

The UK’s most unusual museums you need to visit

A dog collar museum,

A cuckoo clock museum called cuckooland :cool:

The House of Marbles looks interesting, but a lawnmower museum???

Complete with image of a nice looking lady riding an old lawnmower :lol:

Logon or register to see this image

In Nicosia there's a house of Barbarism where the Turks killed a Greek family in the early 70s, everything was left in its place, blood stained bullet ridden walls and empty shells in the bath with kids shoes and clothes left lying around covered in blood. Truly horrific.
There were still shops in the neutral zone where nothing has been touched for nearly 50 years. Plates of food left on tables and cars in showrooms when the Greeks fled the massacre.

As an 18 year old working for the UN, a peace keeping force it was a real eye opener.
 
The Sinchon Museum of American War Atrocities in North Korea.

Genuinely the most graphic, disturbing and terrifying propaganda museum on earth, depicting a fictional massacre by American troops in the Korean War.

Dummies of people getting tortured in horrific ways, blood font text, audio screams of chileren, blood stains, etc. Truly messed up
 
I'm sure there must be a Museum of the Misplaced Apostrophe somewhere. If there isn't, however, the OP can start one.
 
Small witchcraft museum in silliman university in dumaguette in the Philippines,loads of hocus-pocus voodoo dolls and stuff,far better was the KGB museum in Prague where the odd Russian curator re-enacts killing people with his garrotte and knives :eek:
