museums of the weird and wonderful

Spending an afternoon at the museum is a delightful way to soak up history, culture and art, that is, if you happen to be at the Louvres, the British Museum or the American Museum of Natural History.  If delightful is not what you seek, then check out the following museums around the world that won’t just turn heads but a few stomachs as well.

These museums hold the most peculiar and curious displays you can ever imagine. Go tapeworm-dizzy in the Meguro Parasitological Museum in Tokyo and see the world's longest tapeworm (at 28 feet) or go phallic-feverish in the Icelandic Phallological Museum in Iceland and try not to blush at the displays of the mammalian pizzle specimens.

There is a museum in Florence, Italy that displays Galileo Galiei's mummified middle finger, pointing skyward, and an X-file collection of creatures like Bigfoot and lake monsters at the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine. it will be a whole new experience, even souvenir-hunting will be a blast. Parasite key chain anyone?
