12:00 am | Comments Off

We, as Americans love the strange and unusual. Finding a museum that satisfies this weird love can be tough. A museum can be fun but, maybe a little boring as many seem to be so similar. When you find a museum that is strange and bizarre it can fascinate you and make you feel a little uneasy but you will want to come back for more.

The first strange museum on our list is the international UFO museum. This is located exactly where you would expect, in Roswell, New Mexico. This museum offers newspaper clippings, a prop alien corpse dummy, photographs and speculation about the July 1947 supposed incident when a man discovered alien bodies and a crashed flying saucer on his property in New Mexico. The next museum is located in St. Joseph Missouri. The Glore Psychiatric museum is a horrifying museum that was created by a man named George Glore who used actual psychiatric patience to help him build a museum that displayed actual unethical psychiatric practices. This resulted in art work created by some insane minds. This next museum may be one of the weirdest. Located in New Carrollton Maryland, the museum of menstruation features a dress made out of tampons and many artifacts created to help women take care of their menstrual cycles. The next museum is probably the most terrifying of all the museums. It is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and is called The Mutter Museum. Dr. Thomas D
ent Mutter started this museum in 1858 and features some strange and creepy medical oddities. Some features include a wall of skulls that details how the owner of each skull died, a nine foot long human colon, and some very disturbing pictures of human disfigurations.

These museums are sure to amaze, disgust, and horrify you. Above all these museums are sure to fascinate and you will never think of a museum the same way again.
