This is all over the internet, but I had to repost because I am a bit obsessed with architecture and abandonment. An artist named Ofra Lapid, who lives and works in Tel-Aviv, wastes time on the internet like the rest of us. But she actually does something productive with her...
I never remember being into PEZ as a kid, maybe because I was too lazy for that crap. But I think I’d still like to visit the Burlingame Museum of PEZ Memorabilia. In a small room at the back of an old computer store, there’s the World’s Largest PEZ Dispenser...
If you have a chewing gum habit and ever wondered if there was a gum museum in existence, well, no need to continue keeping yourself up at night because there is one in Quartzsite, Arizona. Joanna’s Gum Museum is the personal gum collection of owner Joanne Brunett who has been...

One of America’s recent tornadoes ripped through Edgar’s Closet Museum. Sad. In 2008, sixth...
America’s first (and apparently finest) Wax Museum is located in Saint Augustine, Florida. Here you can see amazing life-like statues, such as Wolfgang Mozart, and who knows what else. Doesn’t this postcard make you want to go?
The Museum of Wildlife, Industry and Science in Webster, South Dakota has a shoe collection housed in a special building. What makes it so special? Well, as you can see from the above photo it resembles a shoe that no one in the real world or with the right mind...
We wrap up “Tiny Museum Week” with the world’s only museum dedicated to the Victorian explorer, Sir Richard Burton. There’s just one catch - the museum is located in the loo of a private residence in St Ives, Cornwall in the UK. History buff Shanty Baba converted the 36 sq...
