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.

At Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan, you will find the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia. For nearly 40 years, Curator David Pilgrim has collected what he calls “racist garbage”. It is his belief that “forms of intolerance can be used to teach tolerance”. The museum displays a wide variety of artifacts, including cartoons, figurines and advertising, that depict the history of racist portrayals of African Americans in everyday American popular culture. The traveling exhibit “Hateful Things” samples the museum’s 4,000 pieces and has made its way around the state of Michigan as well as at other various colleges and universities.
