Museums Unconventional | eatparade
Louvre, the Uffizi, the Prado, the British Museum, the collective places like these represent the museum par excellence. No one doubts but sometimes, however, the museums most striking are the least conventional, those that do not host the Mona Lisa on duty but who are able to surprise visitors by the originality of the collection or for passion who collected the pieces patiently.
Examples are:
Vasamuseet, Stoccolma
It features a single piece, but impressive. It is the only vessel in 1600 to have reached almost intact to this day. The vessel it sunk shortly after the launch and it has been brought to light only after three centuries. In the museum, you can see the ship in perfect conditions, with all sorts of weapons, objects, equipment on board, and even the skeletons of sailors sunk.
Torture Museum, Ischia
It is the last thing you would expect to find in a happy island like Ischia! Housed in a small room of the Aragonese Castle, the museum has the instruments of torture more cruel, but even the most imaginative, in use from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century, for example: the crushing-knees, chastity belts and other oddities.
Spielzeugmuseum, Monaco
A small Toy Museum. It houses a section dedicated to Barbie ancient, including the first in 1959. Then there are wooden dolls and even wax. For boys there is a corner of trains and cars.
Dog Collar Museum, Kent
A small museum in a couple of rooms encompasses five centuries of history. Interesting evolution of the dog collar from the middle Ages to the 19th century: From a defensive tool to tool decorative, there are collars with velvet inserts and even gold and precious stones.
Kaiserliche Wagenburg Museum, Vienna
The Carriage Museum. Here are some very special pieces including the gloomy funeral carriages painted entirely in black, like the one that carried the coffin of Princess Sissi.
There are several museums strange, one of them is the Museum of the Sewers in Paris, or that of Prostitution in Amsterdam, and many more around the world.
