The 11 most unusual museums in America

America is the land of the free and the land of the brave. And it is also a country where everyone can find something for themselves. Well, let's look... in museums. As it turned out, the entire territory of the United States is literally strewn with museums - large and small, interesting and not so much. And some of them are devoted to really strange things.

Pez Candy Museum.

If you have a wild desire to eat more Pez candies in one sitting than your body can handle, make sure you come to the right place, namely, the Pez Museum in Burlingame, California.

Museum of Funeral History.

In the glorious city of Houston, Texas, there is one of the darkest museums on this list — the National Museum of Funeral History. And although most of the exhibition is rather dull, there are several really interesting exhibits here. For example, an exhibition of things from the funerals of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis.

The Museum of Hair.

Retired hairdresser Leila Kohun tirelessly collected her collection of 2,000 samples of human hair. Some of the local exhibits come from the 18th century (creepy).

Ventriloquist Museum.

The museum boasts a collection of 750 puppets from 20 different countries. If you are afraid of ventriloquist dolls (and they are really creepy), it is probably better to refrain from visiting this museum. I immediately remember the movie "Saw".

Salt and Pepper Shakers Museum.

Here you can admire a huge collection of 22,000 salt and pepper shakers of various shapes and colors. All this is part of a personal collection. Located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Cockroach Museum.

More precisely, the cockroach Hall of Fame. What started as a self-promotion for a sanitizer in Plano, Texas, has turned into a real museum. Here you will see a wide range of cockroaches ready for your careful inspection. Don't worry, all the exhibits are dead.

Museum of stuffed hares and rabbits.

This strange museum is just a house in Pasadena, California. Inside you will find 23,000 toy hares and rabbits made of a variety of materials. The family - the owners of the museum - have been collecting these animals for 15 years, and they bury the broken toys in the backyard.

Museum of Velvet paintings.

This unusual museum in Los Angeles has more than 1,000 exhibits, beautiful examples of velvet kitsch.

Kazoo Museum.

The city of Eden, New York, has its own attraction - the Kazoo Museum. In general, it was founded by the kazoo production company, which has been making them since 1916. You can even make your own version of this musical instrument in the museum.

Museum of paintings on toilet lids.

Barney Smith was once a plumber, and now is an artist and curator of his own museum. A museum of paintings on toilet lids is exactly what you thought — a garage filled to the brim with seats with a variety of drawings.

Museum of lunch boxes.

Visitors to this museum in Columbus, Georgia, can remember their childhood by surrounding themselves with school lunch boxes. There are as many as 1,500 of them here.
