Museum expositions have traditionally been points of travel. Gradually, tourists ceased to be surprised at miracles and exotic exhibits, and in the era of the Internet to surprise a person and attract him to the museum became almost impossible.
Nevertheless, in the world there are many original museums worth visiting - you will definitely have something to remember!
Dance Museum (Stockholm, Sweden)
The concept of the museum in this place is so revised that it is difficult to call it a museum. In fact, this is a dynamic interactive exhibition with a crazy pace of change of subjects and themes. The establishment is located in the center of the capital. The poster is available online and every season many tourists from all over the world specifically plan a trip for specific dates, like a concert. Exhibitions in the museum are a real show with the obligatory performance of real dancers.
Museum of Bad Art (Boston, USA)
A completely unusual approach to art. When creating the museum, the founders were guided by the fact that people often spend a lot of time walking around large-scale galleries, not especially distinguishing between the directions of painting and hardly remembering the names of the authors. So why waste time on such exhibitions if you can enjoy frankly mediocre paintings from unknown authors?
The motto of the museum entices: "proudly presents horrible works of art created by mediocre, color-blind people with shaking hands."
Museum of Sewerage (Paris, France)
The French were never shy about taking an unusual approach in all areas of activity. The opening of the museum in the sewer system, which is more than 150 years old, is a vivid confirmation of this.
If you approach the issue from an engineering point of view, it sounds grandiose that the pipe system works in a multi-million city with maximum efficiency, despite the fact that it was laid down in the 1850s. If you dare to visit this place, you will see the city from an angle at which other tourists do not see it.
The territory reserved for the exhibition is decorated in a thematic style - there are different rats (mostly plush), mannequins that imitate the work of employees in the sewer system, and also a lot of working equipment that was used to build and operate this system during its creation.
Parasitological Museum (Meguro, Tokyo, Japan)
If you want to tickle your nerves, and also like to stay in shock for several hours in a row - this is the place for you. The entire exposition is completely devoted to parasites in any form. It should be warned in advance - the vast majority of items will make you nauseous, and this is not an exaggeration.
45,000 exhibits are thematically sorted in special cabinets, flasks and various medical containers. Here is the longest tapeworm, which is officially fixed by science (almost 9 meters), a real rat, whose stomach has increased several times due to the development of parasites inside. There are many interactive sites in the museum where visitors can touch some objects (if you dare, of course).
Mummy Museum (Guanajuato, Mexico)
The most important thing is that all mummies are real! This is the question that always sounds within the walls of one of the most terrible museums in the world. Of course, here you can study the technology of mummification, get acquainted with the history of this mysterious process that has been used for many centuries on the whole planet.
The mummies in the museum are arranged in different rooms, which are a rather eerie sight. All exhibits are real people who tragically died during a cholera epidemic in a city that erupted in the city in 1833.
The situation is simple and creepy - mummies are placed along the corridors and visitors have to pass between them. The bodies have different ages, which gives the walk an incredible feeling.
Kamikaze Museum (Minamikyushu, Japan)
In 1975, a museum was opened in the village of Tiran, which is dedicated to one of the most exciting phenomena in Japanese culture. In 2007, this village became part of Minamikyushu. The atmosphere here is truly unique - this is the former Japanese Air Force Air Base, with which kamikaze pilots often began their deadly flights.
Since its inception, the museum’s exposition has been gradually replenished with items related to kamikaze.
Even the first director of the establishment was a real kamikaze pilot Tadamas Itatsu - his sorties did not find a target, so he was not destined to fulfill his mission.
Snowflake Museum (Hokkaido, Japan)
Japan again and again an original approach. Nakaya Ukichiro, the scientist and founder of the museum, spent a lot of effort on developing a unified concept that allows collecting many images of real snowflakes that are photographed under high magnification or stored in special chemical solutions.
There is an original spiral staircase that leads to the upper floors, and along the way you can enjoy images of different snowflakes. They are huge and completely unique - if you can see a real snowflake at least once in your life, then the snow for you will remain a work of art for life.
Museum of Lies (Kuritz, Germany)
Absolutely everything that you see in the museum is a fake. All museums go wild to prove the credibility of their exhibitions and exhibits. Here, on the contrary, Reinhard Tsabka (director of this unusual museum) is an artist who sincerely believes that the line between truth and falsehood is too small and unobvious to rely on.
The building itself is 200 years old - although this is not true. Just the style is made in this format. At the door you will see the motto "Do not believe your eyes." Repeat this to yourself throughout your stay at the museum. In 10 rooms you will see Stalin's mop, Hitler's mustache, Van Gogh's ear.
At the entrance you will enjoy a drink that will preserve your eternal youth, although it tastes simple aromatic tea.
Everything that is in the museum is the legacy of the great-granddaughter of Baron Munchausen himself. In any case, the director of the museum says so.
