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.

If you’re Catholic (or not), you might already know today is Ash Wednesday. And what better way to acknowledge it than with a visit to the Angel Museum in Beloit, Wisconsin. The “World’s Largest Collection of Angels” is located in St. Paul’s Catholic Church (good place for it, don’t ya think?). This is how it started: “Began in 1976 when Joyce (the woman above…yes, she dresses like an angel) and Lowell Berg were on vacation in Florida. When visiting an antique store, they fell in love with an Italian bisque figurine of two angels on a sea-saw. It captured their hearts and angel collecting soon became a passion for the couple. In 2008, the Berg Angel Collection numbered over 13,600.” If you ever plan to visit, expect every kind of angel material…spaghetti, bells, fine porcelain, macaroni, etc. And because Oprah is an Angel from God, she donated 600 Angels to become part of the museum’s Black Angels Exhibit. I feel so angelic. (Image Source)
