Airline History Museum in Kansas City
Believe it or not, there’s an Airline History Museum in Kansas City. I’m incredibly sad that I missed this past weekend’s annual AHM Hangar Dance.

Barack Obama may be a “metrosexual, black Abe Lincoln” but no one beats America’s 21st President Chester Alan Arthur in the metrosexuality department. Known as Elegant Arthur because of his expensive taste in clothing (he owned over eighty pairs of pants), he was the first chief executive to have his...
Bloody diorama at the American Heritage Wax Museum in Scottsdale, Arizona. There’s a fun article on the American roadside wax museum here.
There’s an Easter Egg Museum (Ostereimuseum) near Stuttgart, Germany, specifically in the town of Sonnenbühl. The museum itself was founded in 1993 to offer tourists something to do when not skiing. Luckily, a number of nearby private egg collections were offered to the museum, which now has over 900 eggs....
Whether you have a thing for bunnies or a possible aversion, like that Killer Rabbit in Monty Python, you still might want to pay a visit to the Bunny Museum, “The Hoppiest Place in the World”. It’s definitely a one-of-a-kind place. Husband-and-wife duo Candace Frazee and Steve Lubanski have spent...
Spent all day cleaning (anyone telling you it’s fun is freakin’ lying), which made me wonder if there were any museums dedicated to this activity. Apparently the state of Idaho is very fastidious as they have Don Aslett’s Museum of Clean. Self-proclaimed as America’s number one cleaning expert, his museum...

Bringing back an old post for the holiday season. Only open once a year, the Aluminum Tree and Aesthetically Challenged Seasonal Ornament Museum (or the ATOM as its otherwise known) in Brevard, North Carolina started in 1997 to display strange Christmas decorations. It is the world’s only museum dedicated to...
I know when you think of teeth, you don’t necessarily think of the Brits. But believe it or not, they do indeed have dentists. And they have a museum about dentists too. Stop your chuckling, Americans. The British Dental Association Museum brings you the history of British dentistry with lots...
So it doesn’t feel left out, let me also mention the Prince Edward Island Potato Museum. Museums about potatoes seem to have this thing for putting huge potato sculptures outside for visitors to pose for crappy iPhone pictures. Yeah, because it’s perfectly normal to sit on a bench with a...
If you’ve read this blog long enough, then you probably already know I have a thing for hoarders. I used to work for one (that didn’t work out so well) and have a family member (or two) whose baby toe is slightly keeping them out of the deep end of...
Today begins Christmas Museum Week. Don’t worry…you’re not missing anything. It’s something I just made up. Christmas Museum Week is kind of like Shark Week, just not as exciting. The Santa Claus Museum in Santa Claus, Indiana is a good place to start. “The town’s name did not peak interest...
