Results: Strangest Museum in Every State (Part Five)
Published on 06/28/2020
From disturbing oddities to "why-does-this-deserve-an-entire-museum?" subjects, these are the types of out-of-the-box attractions that make America what it is. Let's continue on our road trip courtesy of another article from Reader's Digest. Maybe I too will learn of some more interesting places to visit! I will make a series for Canada after the US series comes to an end! :)

Massachusetts: The Museum of Bad Art - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but the Museum of Bad Art is here to remind you it's OK to think some art is just not good. Its gallery is currently closed for renovations, but when it reopens, it'll be back to featuring some of its 700 pieces, like an oil painting of a Red Sox player being eaten by a centaur-like fan, and a painting of an Aztec emperor who seems to be high-fiving a man in a turban. Despite the cheeky descriptions put together by the MOBA, some of the artists do have some undeniable talent. Have you ever visited this museum?

Michigan: Knowlton's Ice Museum of North America - The Knowlton's Ice Museum of North America is dedicated to all things ice: ice picks, ice wagons, ice boxes, ice crushers, ice buckets, ice plows, ice ... well, you get the idea. If you get your fill of those cool artifacts, rest easy knowing that while the founder was busying himself hunting down ice-related memorabilia, his wife had her own side project collecting dolls, and 300 of them are featured in the museum.

Minnesota: SPAM Museum - Love it or hate it, you're bound to learn something new at the SPAM Museum in Austin, Minnesota. It's a quirky, punny space where you can hear all about the canned meat's role in World War II, race to produce your own faux SPAM, and of course, taste a "spam"ple of the product.

Mississippi: The Apron Museum - The Apron Museum in Ioka, Mississippi, is a hands-on experience. Items aren't hidden away in glass cases but are out in the open, ready to be touched and tried on in a grown-up game of dress-up. It's not all about gingham smocks, but the 3,500 aprons come from different decades and countries, telling stories through their style and craftsmanship. Have you ever visited this museum?

Missouri: Leila's Hair Museum - Leila's Hair Museum boasts that it's the only hair museum in the world, though I can't imagine why no other exhibit space would want to feature so many artworks made of human hair. And how is the human hair used, you may ask? Well, it can be woven into jewelry or wreaths (popular in Victorian times), or pulverized into powder to be mixed in with paint. Creepy? Perhaps. Impressively intricate? Most definitely. Have you ever visited this museum?
