We have already introduced readers to the selection the strangest museums, including the Museum of Bad Art, the Sewerage Museum and others. It is enough to visit one of these institutions, and the stereotype that boredom reigns in museum halls will disappear forever. Today's article continues the theme of the most unusual museums in the world.

Human Body Museum

The building of the museum itself, located in Leiden, the Netherlands, is made in the form of a human figure. Moving from floor to floor, museum visitors seem to make a journey inside the human body: past huge organs or right through them. On special screens you can see various processes in the body: digestion, oxygen supply, etc.

Museum of Lies

One of the most curious museums is located in the German city of Küritz. While the rest of the world's museums are proud of their collections of originals, this institution contains only forgeries. However, they can hardly be called fakes, because the "originals" of these things simply do not exist! Among the exhibits: the severed ear of the artist Van Gogh, Hitler's false mustache, a flying carpet, a radio from the sunken Titanic broadcasting cries for help, and a paper airplane played by German Chancellor Willy Brandt as a child. And the founders of the museum call themselves the descendants of Baron Munchausen.

Museum of unhappy love

This unusual museum has a collection of exhibits related in one way or another to failed relationships: romantic letters, valentines, sms, plush toys, photographs accompanied by stories of broken hearts. The organizers hope that the museum will become a kind of therapy for all abandoned and unfortunate people, because next to each story of parting there is a story about how the hero coped with it. The Museum of Unhappy Love is located in Zagreb (Croatia).

Burnt Food Museum

As the name implies, all the exhibits of the American museum are food that did not end up on the table due to the chef's carelessness. Despite all its absurdity, the museum attracts many tourists and has been successfully operating since the late 1980s.

Instant Noodle Museum

Instant noodles were invented by Japanese Momofuku Ando in 1958, and the museum in Osaka contains everything that can be related to this product. Moreover, visitors can not only gaze at the exhibits, but also participate in the creation of unique noodles at the mini-factory, and the finished product in a plastic cup can be taken away with them.

Museum of Souls of the Dead

The small Roman museum, located in the church of Del Sacro Cuore, contains various evidence of the existence of the souls of dead people.

Mafia Museum

The exhibits of the museum, located in Sicily, reveal more than a century of the history of the Italian mafia. However, photographs of mafia showdowns, newspaper clippings and other exhibits are not intended to glorify Cosa Nosrtra, but, on the contrary, to dispel the romantic halo that has formed around it.

Guardian Angels Museum

The museum, located in Bad Wimpfen, Germany, displays sculptures and images of guardian angels, and not only Christian angels are collected here, but also protecting deities from other religions.

Devils Museum

Well, in Kaunas, Lithuania, there is a museum that is completely opposite to the previous one: here is probably the largest collection of devils in the world.

French fries museum

This museum is located in an old mansion in the city of Bruges, and its exhibits in articles, ceramics, photographs, films tell about the history of potatoes, their varieties and methods of preparation. A special place, of course, is given to French fries: it is believed that as such it appeared in Belgium in 1700.
