Museum visits are often informative to enrich one’s knowledge. But occasionally, you will have experiences that may leave you questioning whether what you saw was indeed real. 

Take these unusual exhibits, for example. We’re talking about displays like jars filled with actual kidney stones, “the world’s roundest object,” and Thomas Edison’s final breath preserved in a test tube (and no, you didn’t misread that). 

Like what we did in a previous piece, we’ve collected some of the oddest, most eye-catching museum finds from different corners of the internet. Scroll through and be amazed or weirded out, either of which would be understandable.

It's nice to see those iconic cuddly toys. However the REAL Christopher Robin used to own a book shop in Dartmouth (UK) and I saw him a few times when I visited it. It would have been nice to have had a good old natter about his life but I respected his privacy and bought my books and left. 🐻🇬🇧

    Since we’re on the topic, let’s look at a few of the world’s unusual museums, beginning with the Beijing Museum of Tap Water in China. As the name suggests, it’s all about the 90-year-old history of Beijing tap water. 

    What can you expect inside the museum? One hundred thirty artifacts, 110 photos, 40 models, and sand tables. It also has a miniature tap water filtration system for a better visual presentation.

    @RamiRudolph I appreciate what you are saying that Claudette Colvin was under appreciated, but I don't think you can say that Rosa Parks was overrated. Her stance was vital to the Civil Rights movement.

    In addition to soulful jazz music and delectable Cajun food, New Orleans is also known for the Museum of Death. Stepping into the place, you’ll find antique mortician tools, body bags, coffins, and everything that will remind you of mortality

    The museum also features photos of the infamous Manson family, along with images of crime scenes and car accidents. The website was kind enough to point out that this isn’t for the faint of heart, so proceed with caution.

    If you are curious about indoor plumbing and happen to be in India, visit the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets. Sociologist Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak founded the museum in 1992 to highlight the historical development of toilet systems and the evolution of sanitation. 

    It houses pictures and objects dating back to 2500 BC, as well as bidets and water closets that began to appear in households in 1145 AD. You will also find poems that appreciate the use of toilets.

    Back then the concept of a slip on sock shoe wasn't popular or even in production like they are today. Even the chunky heals weren't a thing on sneakers. It's funny how this predicted the future of shoes sans the self tying laces.

    She lived for about six years, average agenof sheep are about 10-12 years, and she was euthanized due to aggressive lung disiese. Edited in Jens reply to mine, sinde its higly relevant :The sheep that Dolly was cloned from was already 6 years old when the material used to clone her were taken. Dolly's DNA was therefore already the equivalent of 6 years old, so while biologically Dolly was 6 years old when euthanised, on a DNA level she was already 12 years old and therefore more likely to experience health issues otherwise associated with a much older sheep

    "Original copies" - Remind me of the joke about the museum that exhibited the 'Head of Jesus' next to the 'Head of Jesus as a young boy'.

    I have been to this museum. They have strict rules about taking photos of human remains. I hope this was taken officially with permission.

    For those who don't know, Charles Babbage was an English Mathematician and Engineer who is often considered to be the "Father of the Computer". But unless this is supposed to be the inspiration for the Head Museum in Futurama, I don't understand the reasoning for keeping his brain in a jar.

    It's not in Holland, it's in the province of Utrecht. The Nationaal Militair Museum is at the former air base of Soesterberg. (Let's explain - Florida is not the USA, England is not the UK, Holland is not the Netherlands. They are all smaller areas with the sovereign nations.)

    When a wreck or similair is discovered, it is custom for the finders to claim it. This didnt happen with Titanic, for numerous reasons. This is why it is legal for everyone with the right lisence to basically plunder this graveyard.

    I always thought the F117A was a stealth fighter (not bomber). Had to look it up. Turns out it was a fighter-bomber :)
