15 Bizarre Museums From Around the World You Have to Check Out

Insider Guides
by Amelia Hagen Nov 25, 2016

WHEN YOU JET TO A NEW CITY or country, unless you’re in Madrid, London, or Paris, you might not be immediately thinking of museums. ​However, there are countless places that house slightly alternative objects around the world. Get ready to unlock that curiosity of yours to explore a few subjects that make you wonder, “There’s actually a museum for that?!”

Get your sports fix in the US and UK. Learn about a sustainable future for all in Brazil. Visit a museum in Russia that embodies one of its biggest stereotypes. Sit on a sumo toilet and walk under, yes, I said, “under”, a swimming pool in Japan.

We pulled all of these locations from our travelstoke app. Travelstoke is the world’s first social network for travelers, and also works as a pretty sweet crowd-sourced guidebook. Don’t see a museum you think belongs on here? Add it yourself!
