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.

It's nice to see those iconic cuddly toys. However the REAL Christopher Robin used to own a book shop in Dartmouth (UK) and I saw him a few times when I visited it. It would have been nice to have had a good old natter about his life but I respected his privacy and bought my books and left. šŸ»šŸ‡¬šŸ‡§

He hated being Christopher Robin. It ruined his relationship with his father.

The fame had a dark side too - Christopher Robin was bullied because of the book, and grew to resent his father for writing it.

The English government (notorious for stalking cultural artifacts from every culture in history) demanded that these be returned. They were given to the new York public library by the author and owner of the dolls...

    Many people would like to touch the carved one and it would be calming too I think for ADHD, I would have loved it as a child as well as an adult as it's so tactile. So many museums were no touch, today's interactive ones are so much better 😊

    Since we’re on the topic, let’s look at a few of the world’s unusual museums, beginning with the Beijing Museum of Tap Water in China. As the name suggests, it’s all about the 90-year-old history of Beijing tap water. 

    What can you expect inside the museum? One hundred thirty artifacts, 110 photos, 40 models, and sand tables. It also has a miniature tap water filtration system for a better visual presentation.

    I sincerely doubt the salt content was that high. It sunk in the Baltic Sea which isn't very salty. I have however read that the water where it sunk was unusually toxic, something about sulfuric acid, and that the sea naturally lacks ship worm.

    Most of them unknown and forgotten. People die twice, first time is the actual death, second time is the death of the last one who remember... In this case often both deaths happened at the same time, as entire families, districts and towns were murdered en masse.

    For the ancient Egyptians, you only really died if your name was lost. Otherwise if your name lived on, your soul did too. The worst punishment they could give was erasing someone's name from tombs and monuments. I never fully understood the impact of that u til I began learning about the holocaust and the millions of lost names.

    All museums and zoos need to use this kind of non-reflective glass. It's really unpleasant to try taking a picture of an exhibit or an animal in its habitat when the ceiling lights or the sky, and people are reflecting in the glass around it.

    Claudette was an unwed mother in the 1950s. Though what she did was brave, she would have been ripped to pieces by the moral police, and that would have overshadowed any civil rights statement she tried to make. Rosa Parks' life was untouchable and did not turn focus from the matter at hand.

    There is a diary of a young jewish girl on display at the Caen memorial, opened to the page (early 1941) where she tells the conversation between her sister and her mother in the kitchen about a rumor that germans arrest people and we do not know what they become. She then writes that it is surely stories, that this cannot happen in our modern time, that government would not allow such things to happen... I often thought of these lines when I watched the news.

    The most striking thing about the Holocaust museum is the silence. There could be hundreds of people in the same room with you and no one is making a sound. It's quite unnerving. But fitting and respectful at the same time. The whole thing is a somber, chilling experience.

    In addition to soulful jazz music and delectable Cajun food, New Orleans is also known for the Museum of Death. Stepping into the place, you’ll find antique mortician tools, body bags, coffins, and everything that will remind you of mortality

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The museum also features photos of the infamous Manson family, along with images of crime scenes and car accidents. The website was kind enough to point out that this isn’t for the faint of heart, so proceed with caution.

    I would love to have these in my pottery collection.Fun fact: the ogee (swirl) design on the top-middle cup is seen on similarly-dated ceramics and other decorative pieces from around the world, and is believed to be a representation of the tail of a comet that approached close to Earth almost face-on, with a nucleus that was rotating and so ejecting dust and gases in a spiral shape. Similar origins are thought to be behind the original swastika shapes, which are 2-or-more arms emanating from a central point, either straight or curved and with a bend at the end of each. There is a Chinese manuscript dating back several thousand years that categorises comet types, and among the illustrations are comets with swastika-shaped tails, so again from rotating comets approaching Earth almost face-on.

    If you are curious about indoor plumbing and happen to be in India, visit the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets. Sociologist Dr. Bindeshwar Pathak founded the museum in 1992 to highlight the historical development of toilet systems and the evolution of sanitation. 

    It houses pictures and objects dating back to 2500 BC, as well as bidets and water closets that began to appear in households in 1145 AD. You will also find poems that appreciate the use of toilets.

I was not rich, in fact I worked 2 and 3 jobs to give him a Mom's view of what I thought was a good education. We went to Philly and New York for plays, and yes we did my local college theater. We went to zoo's, aquariums and museums. His home office wall is filled withframed play bills. He has lived in places I would only be able to travel through the Internet. My Job is completed....

    Faberge created a series of different flowers set in 'water' and made from various crystals, embellished with gold and jewels. The 'water' in the vase is completely clear rock crystal. There's only a handful of them that have survived, and most of them are in the British Royal Collection. Each one is worth a fortune. One turned up on the Antiques Roadshow, owned by a military regiment-it had been gifted to them over 100 years ago. It was valued at a million pounds sterling.

    One of the things I dislike about modern Legos (sorry, Europeans, I meant Lego) is that many of the pieces are so specialized that you can only used them to build what's on the box, so I appreciate--and am totally awed by--the fact that this fluid sculpture was build using only "old school" square bricks.

    "intimate assault"? What in the name of the Orwellian language police is that? . Don't be afraid to say the word r-a-p-e (cuz THAT'S what it is), even if the idiotic censors won't let you.

    Actually, not all "intimate assault" is rape. That might be what they mean, but a lot of sexual assault is not technically rape. Rape is the worst, but say, grabbing a woman's breast is also intimate / sexual assault but it isn't rape.

    When organizations like Bored Panda sanitise language and refuse to use words like rape, they are censoring, and contributing to the widespread silencing of, survivors that is part of the problem which creates the toxic environment where perpetrators are protected while survivors are shamed. We will never tackle rape culture if the word is more feared than the deed. (Edited for grammar)

    BoredPanda has some of the most vile and disturbing censorship I’ve ever seen. They’ve censored the female form in great works of art. They’ve changed the word kill to ā€œunaliveā€ in posts. They’ve censored words like d***s, breast, suicide, and even the freaking word W***y. I’ve written to them about this and have never heard back. They honestly don’t give a s**t about their site not their readers.

The assault is anything but intimate in every way. If somebody ever says to me. Have you been intimate assaulted I Will punch there f*****g lights out. And then you can call it intimate assault.

He just was creative in a particular and sometimes creepy way, but the man himself looked pretty unsuspecting and seems to actually have been so.

I can't wait to be able to France to go to Auberge Ravoux in the French village of Auvers-sur-Oise, the last place her lived, and to his grave to show my respect, Le Champ De BlƩ Aux Corbeaux and a few other places. I would love to see his paintings in real life as well.

    Sleepybear is somewhat right: because there are walls on either side of the artwork, it is difficult to see the 'water' in perspective to itself. In reality, of course there are no walls around an ocean. and it is also constantly in motion. So I understand the comment.

    That reminds me of something I was told years ago. I can't verify it's veracity, but a group of American engineers and a group of German engineers had a friendly rivalry going. The group of Americans manufactured a piece of wire that they thought was the thinnest that it was possible to make. They put it in an envelope and shipped it to their rivals, with no explanation. Some time later they received it back, again with no explanation. They were puzzled until they examined it with a microscope and discovered that a hole had been drilled through it.

    Imagine a very eccentric wine collector hiring thieves to get that bottle and then the face of the collector tasting it! It’s not true that wine tastes better the longer it’s stored. Very few wines do. The wines we ordinary people buy is already aged to its potential hight by the producer and in the right environment. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be saved for some special occasion. Most wines can survive a couple of years in a cool, dark place with right humidity and no vibrations. Once opened, well then it should be consumed within a week, sparkling wines within hours.

    Yes, it opened several years ago. Housed in the old Clatsop County Jail, a working jail from 1914 through 1976, the museum continues the building’s legacy as an actual working set for three movies: The Goonies, Short Circuit, and Come See The Paradise. We invite you to explore the films and production behind making movies in Oregon. Your visit will include the chance to make your own short movie utilizing our sets and green screens.

    She lived for about six years, average agenof sheep are about 10-12 years, and she was euthanized due to aggressive lung disiese. Edited in Jens reply to mine, sinde its higly relevant :The sheep that Dolly was cloned from was already 6 years old when the material used to clone her were taken. Dolly's DNA was therefore already the equivalent of 6 years old, so while biologically Dolly was 6 years old when euthanised, on a DNA level she was already 12 years old and therefore more likely to experience health issues otherwise associated with a much older sheep

    I may be over-simplifying this, there's an in depth explanation around telomere shortening, but a short version... The sheep that Dolly was cloned from was already 6 years old when the material used to clone her were taken. Dolly's DNA was therefore already the equivalent of 6 years old, so while biologically Dolly was 6 years old when euthanised, on a DNA level she was already 12 years old and therefore more likely to experience health issues otherwise associated with a much older sheep.

    TRUE bonsai (not the stuff you sometimes see for sale in box stores) can be pretty amazing. A couple of times I attended Sakurcon in Seattle. It's an anime convention, which doesn't matter except due to some ties with Japan it has a bit of cross cultural stuff. One room was a display by a local area bonsai club. Some of the 'trees' on display were very many years old (I forget how old, but impressive). One of them looked like an evergreen forest. I don't recall the underlying plant on that one - maybe something in the juniper family. But it was sculpted over time to look like a forest of individual evergreen trees even though it was one plant. I'm sure a full on bonsai museum would be "more" but even though they only had three or four dozen plants, what they had was pretty impressive.

    Whilst I like this exhibit, I cannot agree with the adage "there's no such thing as waste". It seems to absolve us of all our responsibility and complicity in the destruction of the natural world. Plastic is waste in the making from the moment it's created - it MIGHT be recycled once or twice, but it will exist as pollution forever after.

    Since you're being pedantic so will I, plastic is not automatically waste and neither does it "exist as pollution forever after" - like all things plastic decomposes and, as it began as natural oils, so will it revert to. "it MIGHT be recycled once or twice" - right now the technology exists (but needs scaling up) to recycle ANY plastic back to base materials -what we need to do is be realistic and stop chucking this stuff away, collect it and recycle it, then it ceases to ever be waste.

    Apparently in 2020 the thieves were caught. It was stolen by 2 cousins, ages 18 and 20, at the time, which allowed them to be charged as juveniles. These 2 cousins were childhood BFFS with a security guard, working at the Bode, which is where the coin was stolen from. The cousins were sentenced to ~4.5 years in prison and fined approximately $4.3 million, the value of the coin. The security guard got 3yrs 4months in prison and ~$109k fine. This particular coin, they made 5 of them, belonged to a private owner who had loaned it to the Bore, and it was melted down by the thieves. It was the largest coin ever, until 2011, Australia came out with the Gold Kangaroo, weighing a whopping tonne(1012kg/2231lbs) w/a million dollar face value.

    Not really. If you're speaking of the iron maiden, then yes, it's never been used for what we thought long time. But there are a lot of torture devices that were widely in use. Some of those in the pictures are shown and described in reliable historical sources.

    The Declaration of Independence was created to be published. 200 copies were made. 27 still exist. Voltaire famously commented that there were enough fragments of the "True Cross" (of the crucifixion of Jesus) to account for the entire forests of Lebanon. In fact, all the fragments in the world totalled 27 kg.

    The man took a bullet to the head, I think it's fair to say that some of it likely landed on the chair, but I'm look it up. According to the tinterweb, tests show that the dark staining at the top is hair oil. As for blood, they found 'a positive result for two locations on the chair—one on the back, and the other on the front of the seat.'

    The upper stain was more likely to be from the oils and such they used on their hair. I believe it was said he slumped forward after being shot (understandable) band was laid on the floor of the box while Dr Leale assessed him. After, the actress Laura Keene (star of the play) cradled his head in her lap. It was said she showed the bloodstained spron she was wearing tonguests for years.

    "Couldn't get away with this title today". Declare war, millions will die, but don't insult anyone. (BTW, the BP-censored word is N a z i s). Sigh.

    Right, so many people have more concern for what is said rather than what is done.

    If you visit the WWII museum in New Orleans you can see some very racist anti-Japanese propaganda posters. This was pretty much the norm back then.

    This paper may have been printed before 'Japs' was deemed a slur and was simply abbreviated for typesetting - the rest of the text uses 'Japanese'. However, I will concede that the use of the word in this headline may have contributed to the skunkification of the word. (Skunked term - something I learned today from BPs thread about Wikipedia entries!)

    What is the blocked word? 1941...Nazi? It's a WW2 era paper, I'd expect that word to be there.

    It’s ā€œNazisā€ šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø you can see it uncensored if you click the grey link under the photo. I can’t believe they censored the word Nazis.

    I always thought the F117A was a stealth fighter (not bomber). Had to look it up. Turns out it was a fighter-bomber :)

    This is not for any kind of keeping secrets out of the public realm, they have a fully cladded one at the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton OH
