Strangest Museums in America

Here are America’s quirkiest museums where bananas, bad art and barb wires are part of the exhibits.

Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia, California: - Gary Doss spent more than 20 years of his life collecting candy dispensers and now owns a collection of every PEZ ever created – over 900 of them. Rare ones include the “Make Face” with interchangeable parts, a Mary Poppins and the famed donkey head model made for John F. Kennedy. You can buy all things PEZ, including new and vintage at the Burlingame Museum. If you are planning to fly to California, make sure you compare fares on multiple portals to get cheap air tickets.

Apothecary Museum, VA: - This 18th century pharmacy houses items like unicorn roots and dragon's breath and gives a peek into the weird and commonsensical nature of the colonial era medicine. Apart from the huge archival journal collection, the other highlights of the museum are a remarkable collection of handblown glass jars and herbal botanical.

Museum of Bad Art, Massachusetts: - Art so bad that it’s good. This museum curates and displays art that would never see the light anywhere else. However, the museum has a standard in curetting its 'bad art collection'. Whether it’s by a novice painter or a talent who had a bad day, each of the applicants will have to possess a special quality which would classify it as “to bad to be ignored”.  An international flight ticket to Massachusetts tends to become more affordable during October to January.

The International Banana Museum, California: - Founder Ken Bannister says “The Banana Museum puts a smile on peoples faces every time”. Since the 70s, Ken had a growing obsession for the tropical fruit, collecting more than 18,000 banana related memorabilia from a seven foot tall banana to a banana shaped putter. He sold the museum in 2010 to the equally enthusiastic Fred Garbutt who has gone on to install a nonalcoholic bar within the premises that serves banana smoothies.

Museum of Death, Los Angeles: - Not for the faint of heart, the exhibits include the world's largest collection of serial killer artwork, a vomit stained tshirt worn by a serial killer when he was electrocuted.  Owners James Healy and Cathee Shultz are of the belief that we have to face death one day, so why not explore it while we are alive? Other notable exhibits include Marilyn Monroe's morgue photo and a real severed head of Henri Landru, a 19thcentury Parisian serial killer.
