Some of world’s strangest museums found in US
From a museum of toilets to phallic displays, the Sydney Morning Herald named the ten strangest places of learning — with more than half of them found in the US.
o Among the six, there is a Museum of Bad Art (“too bad to ignore” is its slogan) in Boston, Mass, which is described as “The world’s only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms.”
o The world’s only place dedicated to the many different forms of much-used salt and pepper shakers is located on the outskirts of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. It has a collection of 20,000.
o Visitors can hop over to the Bunny Museum in Pasadena, California, which says its rabbit-related exhibitions are “multiplying daily.”
o The Kansas Barbed Wire Museum is the only place in the world dedicated to the history of “Devil’s Rope,’ which helped to shape the development of America during the Wild West Days.
o Ripley’s Odditoriums are worldwide dedicated to the strange and the unusual with the original one found in St. Augustine, Florida.
o The US mentions also include Allen Woodall’s collection of lunchboxes in Columbus, Georgia, where there is also a southern crockery museum at the same site.
