Uh oh. My son-in-law would LOVE this place. We're going to have to take him next time he and our daughter come to visit.

It's really something! And my understanding is they are moving to Bangor in the fall so hurry!

My daughter and son-in-law are in San Diego, and I don’t know if they will make it out here before fall. If we have to drive to Bangor, we’ll drive to Bangor!

We visited that museum a few years ago. It's wild! And a little overwhelming. The combination of 'artifacts' and 'kitsch', with many of the collections in regular household furniture (like china cabinets) was amusing. I imagined the founder having these cabinets of curiosities filling the house, and his wife insisting that he 'get this crap outta here!'.

It IS a crazy mish-mash!

Love it! If you’re ever in Roswell, New Mexico, you must check out the museum there! Another great blend of kitsch and curiosity.

I think my wife visited there years ago. I'd love to go!

Strange - I was just reading an article about weird museums and the crypto was one of them. Another was the Museum of Bad Art in Boston. Being from NJ, heard many stories of the Jersey Devil.

We've been wanting to visit the bad art museum for a while!
