I think if miniature portrait rings were to make a comeback in the 21st century, they would display portraits of the person who is wearing them. But taken from a camera phone pic of that particular attention whore posing in a mirror. Oh, yeah…and maybe throw in a few Lady...
Have a thing for wrenches? Well, you’re in luck. Because the R-Lucky Star Ranch Farm Museum is not only lucky in name, but also contains over 3500 wrenches. Located in a former tractor shed in Marsing, Idaho, the wrenches are organized in alphabetical order by company name as well as...
Say this next museum’s name ten times fast. The World’s Largest Collection of the World’s Smallest Versions of the World’s Largest Things Traveling Roadside Attraction and Museum. Yep, that’s a name. Erika Nelson, the creator of this museum on wheels, takes pictures of the world’s largest things (ketchup bottle, shoe,...
Love paying a weekly visit to your shrink? Well, then…the Glore Psychiatric Museum in St. Joseph, Missouri sounds like it is right up your dysfunctional alley. It starts with the first therapy methods, when sharp sticks or a club were used, and goes to Middle Age treatments involving public humiliation...
I forgot I had that Google Analytics thingy, which may not have been installed properly until just recently. Besides learning most of you use Chrome and spend just a minute looking at my blog (but I spend hours on it!), last month’s stats also tell me most of you are...
Today an old acquaintance of mine is traveling to the place where we first met nearly 7 years ago. In case you were wondering, that location would be Northwest England. One of the more interesting (depending on your definition of the word) museums in the area would be Hat Works...
Not wanting to repeat myself like I did yesterday, I bring you a brand new museum, typical of this blog in that it appears to be a hoarder’s dream come true. On Short Horn Street in San Antonio, Ed Clark’s Year-Round Christmas House has been a longtime holiday tradition for...
This blog has never paid a visit to Azerbaijan (say that twenty times fast) but I’m guessing not many people go there. First of all, where is it? And how do you pronounce it? Oh, and do they have a Starbucks? Between Turkey and the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is a...
Christmas Museum Week continues with a place that I really, really want to go to: The Aluminum Tree and Aesthetically Challenged Seasonal Ornament Museum. The ATOM (as its otherwise known) started in 1997 and is the world’s only museum dedicated to the preservation and public display of vintage aluminum trees....
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...
A city can remember its past in many ways from historic preservation and walking tours to memorial plaques and monuments. But then there’s Portland, Oregon where things are done a bit differently. Back in the day before hipster bicycles, Portlandians used to get around town on horseback. Many of the...
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...
