Museums Of The Absurd
 
http://i.imgur.com/R4TRQjC.jpg

Aktung just sent me a picture of a museum of SPAM. I told him I've already seen both a museum of CANDLES and a museum of PENCILS, by all that's holy.

Have you ever emerged from such a place wondering "WHY?" and, if so, what was it a museum of and where can we go see it?

I love those types of museums. I wish there where more of them where I live.

Why not start one yourself then? I'm sure we could think of something. How about a museum of jam jars, or maybe famous peoples' nose-hairs? Probably already been done...

Me and the wife went here:

 


Sexmuseum Amsterdam Venustempel




This was good for a laugh, cheap to enter, and even more fun after a visit to a good coffee shop!:|\\

You'd have a job keeping out of trouble in Holland. Why do so many of their words look like naughty words in English? You go out looking for a newsagents and the sign over the shop door says something like "Gobbler-Shoop". Do you go in or not?

It depends on who's behind the counter.

Museum of squirrels and moose...

It might have a rocky start but you'll soon be flying high with a Bullwinkle in your eye

Hey! :huh:

I've been to the pencil museum in Keswick, it was a wet Wednesday afternoon and it passed the time. How many others here can claim to have seen the world's largest pencil (I suspect Jim has seen it)?

(Although Cars of the Stars and the James Bond museum were better, but they disbanded a few years ago.)

Well.. there's that museum in Italy that I hear is full of crap...
