02 Museum of the Mummies

of Guanajuato

GuanaMuato, Mexico

Not for the sTueamish, this museum

preserves and displays in glass cases

the bodies of the deceased from the

surrounding area whose relatives were no

longer able to pay a grave tax. Because

of the dry conditions in the area, the

bodies became naturally mummiɿed.

01 The International UFO Museum

Roswell, New Mexico

Just one state over from the better-known

Area 1 in Nevada is The International UFO

Museum. Located at the site of a reported

1  4  UFO sighting, this is the perfect stop for

those looking to explore the extraordinary with

updated information on all things otherworldly.

04 Micropia

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Here is a next-level take on

that middle school science

lesson about growing bacteria

in a Petri dish. Dedicated to the

smallest of small microorgan-

isms, this museum is the only

one of its kind in the world.

05 Museum of Broken Relationships

Zagreb, Croatia

This crowdsourced museumŜwith an

outpost in Los Angeles and traveling

exhibitsŜis ɿlled with short, anonymous

vignettes documenting broken hearts.

Visitors can ɿnd anything from an old

ʀame’s belly button lint to the axe one

lover took to an ex’s furniture in revenge.

03 International

Cryptozoology

Museum

Portland, Maine

“Crypto-what?” you

might be asking.

Cryptozoology is the

study of hidden or

unknown animals.

But these exhibits go

beyond Bigfoot and

Nessie included in this

collection is what is

said to be a hair sample

from the Abominable

Snowman and more.
