An Eclectic Collection of Museums
Museums on the Fringe of Reality
The subject of weird and wacky museums first came to my attention in 2008, whilst working on another project. On joining Squidoo I decided to revisit the topic and seek at new list of sites. However, I was surprised to find that only 2 of the original 15 museums I had selected had since closed down, proving people are still interested in unusual and eclectic subjects. I am sure the examples I include all but skim the surface or what is available out there, but I hope it will nevertheless pro...

Greek Museums ~CRETE~
Why Another Greek Museums Lens?
When I started my first lens about the Greek Museums I hadn't taken under consideration the amount of museums you can find around Greece! By the moment I finished with the two major cities of Greece, Athens and Thessaloniki, I figured out that my lens was too big and difficult to manage. So I decided to create a second lens which I hope will cover the island of Crete. Nevertheless, don't think that this lens is going to have less museums than the first one; if one thing, Greeks have a thing a...

RV Museum Puts RVing Lifestyle On Display NEW!
Explore The RV/MH Hall of Fame Museum in Elkhart, Indiana
Reasons to go RVing include visiting a museum in Elkhart, Indiana, American RV capital. I've driven right by the RV/MH Hall of Fame when traveling on the Interstate, but only recently had time to stop and see inside. I'm so glad I did! It is a fascinating place to visit. The RV/MH Hall of Fame is just the kind of museum to visit on International Museum Day, May 18. This is a day established in 1977 by the Internaitonal Council of Museums, to focus attention on museums and their challenges. ...

The Kansas Oil Museum NEW!
Visit the Oil Museum in El Dorado, Kansas
My dad worked as a roughneck, tool pusher and production manager in the Kansas oil fields. The question came up, "where would you take your dad on Father's Day?" The Kansas Oil Museum is the perfect outing for a retired oil man. What a great time he would have telling me what all the equipment was. It would trigger memories of his days working on the oil rigs and I'm sure he would tell some funny stories. (postcard of a vintage Kansas oil well from Gail Lee Martin's collection)
