Disgusting Food Museum (Sweden)

When visiting the Disgusting Food Museum, you should try not to feel squeamish, though it may become difficult. You see, here, you can learn about the different delicacies of other cultures, many of which may seem, well, disgusting to you. Plus, you get to smell, see, and taste some of the dishes. Some popular foods on display are cheese with live maggots from Italy, fruit bat soup from Guam, and wine-filled-baby mice from China. So, if you’re brave enough to taste these strange dishes, or if you just want to look in awe (or horror), you can visit the Disgusting Food Museum. It’s easy to see why this made our list of the weirdest museums.

Museum of Bad Art (United States)

The Museum of Bad Art is one of the weirdest museums in the world. As its name implies, this place showcases about 600 pieces of artwork that are too awful to ignore. Here, you will see a lot of brightly-colored portraits of flowers and other things. Even though they are considered “bad art,” you may still find them amusing. So, if you’re in Massachusetts, you can drop by the Museum of Bad Art to see some of the worst art pieces in the world.

The Dog Collar Museum (England)
