There are museums full of strange things, and then there are strange museums full of things that have no place in a museum. A companion guide to "THAT is a Real Museum?" - this guide covers places that should never have been brought to life.
Not only that, on the front page of the site there’s a man waving a SPAM stick at me. That’s just not right.
My senses are simply outraged whenever I recall this place. No spicy ham ever, ever needs a museum dedicated to its (and I quote from the website) “ultimate culinary perfection.”
Okay, so it’s colored candy tablets, and you can keep them in plastic tubes shaped like any of a zillion things. Really, that isn’t as awesome as it sounds.
The largest PEZ dispenser ever. They’re proud of that?
Maybe it’s too many terrible late night movies, or that unblinking wooden stare, but I’m a little too freaked out by ventriloquist dummies to be comfortable with a museum full of them.
Yes, sanitary plumbing = toilets. Special displays include a story on the developments made in the toilet paper industry and of course a wide range of antique commodes. Ew… just ew.
A hobo wedding! It must be Hobo Week in Iowa (no, seriously, it was).
A museum dedicated to the wandering homeless seems a little pointless. The website informs me that traditional hobo garb includes: ball caps, long-sleeved shirts, jeans, “hobo boots” and backpacks. Wow, I learned something today.
