It seems that you don\u2019t need to go too far from where you are to see something that will make you utter \u201cWTF?\u201d under your breath. Even here we\u2019ve shared oddities like Copenhagen\u2019s Meat City<\/a> (imagine passing butchers on your way to the club), the Mano de Desierto<\/a> (a giant hand rising out of Chile\u2019s desert), and just plain weird statues from all over the world<\/a>. This post, with the\u00a0help of a list compiled by ABC News<\/a>,\u00a0is going to broaden our horizons into the world of whacked-out museums that may be worth a visit if you’re trying to waste an afternoon (or see while under the influence).<\/p>\n

For the intriguingly pointless you can visit the Sulabh International Museum of Toilets<\/a> in New Delhi, or you can head to where the picture above is from, The Cockroach Hall of Fame<\/a> in Texas, or you can check out the exhilarating\u00a0 sounding Beijing Museum of Tap-Water<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for gross and gruesome, you have the option of visiting Amsterdam\u2019s Torture Museum<\/a> (located in the red light district, no less), or the Paris Sewer Museum<\/a>. Along the same lines, the comment section of the article revealed a Museum of Menstruation, which has since closed its doors, but can still be toured on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For a more lighthearted experience, California\u2019s Museum of Pez Memorabilia<\/a> has a 7-foot-tall dispenser \u2014 imagine the sugar rush that would lead to. There are also the cult favorites, The Spam Museum<\/a> in Austin, Minnesota, or my addition to the list, South Korea\u2019s center of rotten spicy cabbage, The Kimchi Field Museum<\/a> in Seoul.<\/p>\n

There you have it — enough distractions from the real world to make you wonder seriously about the real world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
