Article created by: Akvile Petraityte 🇺🇦
Museum visits are often informative to enrich one’s knowledge. But occasionally, you will have experiences that may leave you questioning whether what you saw was indeed real.
Take these unusual exhibits, for example. We’re talking about displays like jars filled with actual kidney stones, “the world’s roundest object,” and Thomas Edison’s final breath preserved in a test tube (and no, you didn’t misread that).
Like what we did in a previous piece, we’ve collected some of the oddest, most eye-catching museum finds from different corners of the internet. Scroll through and be amazed or weirded out, either of which would be understandable.

The Actual Bus Rosa Parks Refused To Change Seats On. National Civil Rights Museum. Memphis, TN
Goony 10 months ago
So close to being right. The bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat is not at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, TN. It is currently on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis does have a replica of a bus from the same era, but it is not the actual bus Rosa Parks rode.
