Seven Strange Museums

The Museum of Bad Art
Founded in 1993, the Museum of Bad Art is the world's only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all forms. Their mission: to bring the worse of art to the widest of audiences. With a collection of more than 400 pieces between two museums in Dedham Square and Somerville, Massachusetts, the museums give new meaning to "can't color between the lines."

The Mutter Museum
The Mutter Museum is a science museum located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The medical museum features medical oddities, wax models, and antique equipment. Among the more famous displays are a preserved nine-foot long colon full of fecal matter (ew), a growth taken from Lincoln's assassin, and a woman whose remains turned to soap.

Vibrator Museum and Masturbation Hall of Fame
Perhaps the most erotic museum on the list, this San Francisco museum displays ancient products originally designed to help women fight hysteria. As one of the first five products to use AC power, the vibrator has a long history and the museum would like to shed some light on the practices of women's darkened bedrooms. In addition to a collection of vibrators, there are also plenty of modern toys to help anyone and everyone with their sexual frustrations.

Icelandic Phallological Museum
The Icelandic Phallacological Museum boasts a penis or penis parts from just about every mammal and sea creature indigenous to Iceland. Come on America, where is our phallus museum?

British Lawnmower Museum
Year after year, people go out to purchase lawnmowers so that they may keep their lawn crisp and presentable. But a good portion of those people don't know the history behind the lawnmower and possibly don't care. If you do care, then there's a museum for you in Great Britain.  The British Lawnmower Museum holds more than 200 specimens of this ever-important machine for the lawn junkie.

Leeds Castle Dog Collar Museum
Everyone loves their pets. A pet museum might be interesting, but a museum dedicated to dog collars, not so much. The Leeds Cast Dog Collar Museum, located in London, offers more than 100 specimens that range from Medieval times to the Victorian Age.

Burlesque Hall of Fame
Located between Los Angeles and Las Vegas on Route 66, the Burlesque Hall of Fame features burlesque displays and holds annual fundraising events for a wide audience. Their mission is to inspire, educate and entertain the public, fostering an understanding of the history and heritage of classic burlesque, including the art, artifacts, and personal histories of its brightest stars.
