When travelling, museums are more often than not a huge part of our itinerary, simply because they are injected with so much history and culture<\/a> that can't be experienced on the streets<\/a>. We learn about the country through exhibits or portraits that tell the story of time, in a themed gallery that usually takes up hours of our day. Not all of us know how to enjoy a good museum, but, chances are, we still end up going with the flow anyway.<\/p>

If you didn't already know, museums serve as a curation of things of value and interest, whether it be to the majority or a smaller community. Perhaps this is the reason why so many museums with the strangest collections have popped up all over the world. These bizarre antics<\/a> range from toilets to hair and even to underwater sculptures. We've gathered 10 of the most interesting ones for you you might want to check out for yourselves the next time you travel overseas. If you find that you enjoy these types of places a lot more than the traditional art gallery, don't worry, there are plenty more for you to discover.<\/p>
