See 9 absurd items that are stored in various museums around the world
Do you know that stereotype that only strangers go to museums? This is nothing! Museums are amazing places, almost historic temples, that guard with care everything that cannot be lost over time.
Sculptures, paintings, canvases, personal effects, furniture and clocks are some very common museum items, as you well know. What you have no idea, though, is that there is a lot of bizarre stuff in many museums around the world. Check out some of these items below and don't forget: whenever you can, visit a museum. You can - and surely will - find amazing things.
1 - Elastic Ball
And it's not any ball, no! The "thing" weighs over 500 kg! If you found the idea interesting and curious, take a look at the Patee House Museum in Missouri, USA.
2 - What was left
At the Mütter Museum, located in Philadelphia, USA, you will be able to see the body of a woman who died in a fire but was "petrified" thanks to the presence of some chemical elements that fell on her during the accident.
3 - Mold
In the same museum mentioned above you can find this body mold of the Siamese brothers Chang and Eng Bunker.
4 - To wrap the stomach
The Tokyo Parasitology Museum proudly displays a tapeworm - a worm also known as a 'lone' - from nine meters. The "pet" was removed from the body of a patient.
5 - For non-artist artists
It's not just your mother who was proud of the drawings you made as a child. The Bad Art Museum brings together works produced without much artistic technique. What do you think of this idea?
6 - Wig Museum
If you like hair to the point where you want to see many different locks, you should go to the Leila's Hair Museum in Missouri, USA. There, you will come across different hairstyles since the 19th century.
7 - Dona Baratinha
When you think you've seen it all in this world, it's because you're so wrong ... Now, for example, you just found out that in Texas there is the Bug Man Museum, dedicated to displaying dead cockroaches dressed as famous people. Yes it's true.
8 - Barbed Wire Museum
This place exists and is in Kansas, USA. There you will find various objects made with barbed wire, like the hat above.
