Top 6 Most Unusual Museums in the World

When you think of museums, you’re likely picturing crowds of tourists, the smell of old rags, dinosaur bones, and unique dioramas. While that’s a pretty accurate generalization, there are museums in this world that are totally out of this world. These strange exhibits feature things that will shock and surprise even the toughest of you! We present to you the six most unusual museums in the world.

Leila’s Hair Museum (Independence, USA)

A retired hairdresser, Ms. Leila Cone, opened a museum of jewelry made from human hair. These trinkets are incredibly sophisticated and are indeed works of art. Most brooches, necklaces, and earrings in this collection were created in the 19th century, and there are about 2500 items here. Whatever you do, don’t try to lick them.

Museum of the Holy Souls (Rome, Italy)

This strange museum is located in a real church building in Rome. Catholics believe that souls do not immediately go to heaven, they must first atone for their sins in Purgatory. During this period, the soul can still contact the real world and leave traces of its presence. And that’s exactly what the exhibits in the Museum of Souls are: handprints, faces, feet on various surfaces, burnt pages with “holy” images, and other spooky stuff like that.
