This Belongs in a Museum

Once called the "Stephen Fry of Museum Blogging," this tumblog, written by a frustrated museologist, is dedicated to the small, random museums and weird attractions of the world. Always informative, usually funny, sometimes offensive.

Bringing you museum-approved grammatical errors and typos since 2010.

Oh, and sorry - I DO NOT FOLLOW BACK!

Even though I lived in Great Britain for over a year, I didn’t make it down to see the country’s number one tourist attraction, Stonehenge. Fortunately (or unfortunately) America has its own version in Virginia. Foamhenge was made entirely of, yes you guessed right, foam. It was created by artist Mark Cline in 2004, which is part of his Enchanted Castle Studios. Foamhenge may or may not be a homage to the best scene in the film This Is Spinal Tap. But probably the greatest part of Cline’s make-believe fiberglass world is Dino Kingdom, an alternate history where Northern Civil War soldiers have the evil plan of using Dinosaurs against the South, but the plan backfires and the Dinos end up attacking the Evil Yankees instead. Only in the South, right? (Image Source)
