Suggestions of a really unique museum?

Question

I need to create a series of documents that one would see in a museum (gift shop inventory, exhibit maps, labeling cards, catalogue, etc). However, they need to be based on an existing museum, preferably one with a website.

I don't want to do a "typical" museum like the Louvre. Are there any unusual, unique or little-known museums that you could think of?

Answer 1

If you ever have the chance to go see "The Body Exhibit"....go its worth it. Its not scary or gross.

The Mutter Museum in Philadelphia, PA deasl with medical oddities. They have a collection of objects removed from the human body, the liver of Chang and Eng, and other really bizarre objects.

Answer 4

Try an interactive musuem, for example the City Musuem in St. Louis, MO. Lots of fun things for children and adults to do (like tunnels to climb through) and offers live music on the weekends. It's an interesting combination of things.

Answer 5

Try the Henry Ford Museum, in Dearborn, MI. I'm not sure they have a website, but it's not "typical".
