Ever lost something important on a plane ride? Knock on wood…I can’t say I ever have, unless you count that vitally important British celebrity tabloid magazine from 2005. Oh, darn! I needed that for my hoarding pile (joke). The Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Alabama isn’t a museum, but it’s...
Do I really need an excuse to cross the state border into Wisconsin? Besides eating a lot of cheese and doing a little dance because everything’s so cheap, there is always another weird attraction worth visiting. One of those unique museums happens to be the Logic Puzzle Museum in Burlington....
Yes, there is a Hammer Museum. And it’s in Haines, Alaska. So if you find yourself in Sarah Palin country and you have a thing for hammers, well, you know what to do.
For those who have never visited the UK, then you might not know of the culture’s obsession with eating beans on everything, specifically potatoes and slices of bread. I am happy that Museum Curator Captain Beany and his Baked Bean Museum of Excellence is dedicated to preserving the magic of...

With his first bottled ship made at the age of sixteen, Sailor Peter Jacobsen found a hobby that took over his life for the next seventy years. Several trips around the world will do that to a person. When Old Peter died in 1960 (I am assuming he is buried...
I think it’s time for another online museum. We haven’t covered one since last December. Actually come to think of it…we’ve only done four. If you’d like to catch up, there’s the Condiment Packet Gallery, Adapter Museum, Digital Snow Museum (sounds nice, but I’m not that hot) and Museum of...
If you thought the huge collection at the Bunny Museum wasn’t good enough, well, you’re in luck. Near the Missouri/Arkansas border in the teeny tiny town of Gateway (human population 422) the front yard of a random home displays a six-foot-tall fiberglass statue of a “Jack Rabbit”. Originally used as...
On a lighter note, let’s turn to the Gopher Hole Museum in Alberta, Canada. Yep, a gopher museum. Stuffed gophers dressed up in outfits (hairdresser, RCMP officer and preacher) placed in 47 different scenes. I don’t know if this is educational, but it sure is funny. And it’s world famous...
