I like the term off-the-beaten track because it doesn’t necessarily have to mean running off to Cambodia or some place far away, usually costing hundreds of dollars. Using that same term you can apply it to small and big city excursions in the beautiful land of America. MSN has a great top 10 list to prove it. Their list feature’s what their editors consider the top 10 most bizarre museums in the country and trust me they are weird! The only one I’ve heard of was the Museum of Bad Art, but there are several others are new and strange to me. Hanging out in Houston? Go to the National Museum of Funeral History. Crazy about Mardi Gras? Check out Blaine Kern’s Mardi Gras World in Algiers, LA.
Others include a Giant Shoe Museum, Untidy Museum, and Mutter Museum to name a few. See their full list and start exploring some very off-the-beaten track museums.
