Through all my travels I have seen some weird places and even weirder tourist attractions....so when I read this article it brought back some memories....and also made me think that some people really do collect alot of useless stuff!


Wackiest Museums

The first one leading the list is....

"Iceland Phallological Museum

Or, the Penis Museum. I know this is serious, but seriously, how can you absorb stats like this without a little giggle: 272 specimens with 55 belonging to 16 different whale species, one from a rogue polar bear (aren’t they all rogue?), and dozens from seals, walruses, and all sorts of land mammals.

The Iceland Phallological Museum proudly claims to hold in their possession “legally certified gift-tokens for four specimens belonging to Homo Sapiens” (that’s us, guys). I’m not 100% clear what this means exactly, but it sure sounds interesting. Also on display are “…other practical utensils related to the museum’s chosen theme."

Have you been to any weird or wacky museums or tourist attractions?

The wackiest museum I've been to is the Sex Museum in Prague. Sounds quite similar to the one in Amsterdam someone described in this thread. They had all the sickest and weirdest things related to history of sex. It was surely interesting!

Another quite wacky museum was the Torture Museum in Amsterdam.

One more worth of mentioning - China House Museum in Tianjin, China. What was interesting was the actual museum building: it was cover with 700 million pieces of antique porcelain, even the toilets were covered with porcelain pieces. It was really interesting. Google it!
