Weird & Wacky Museums

So you may not have realized it, but you can make musical instruments out of carrots...and other vegetables.  I learned this at the World Museum of Carrots, which I found during my research for this week's class.  Who knew?!
There are some unusual collections out there, like the British Lawnmower Museum, the Mustard Museum, and the Underwater Museum (which you have to visit by going underwater because all the exhibits are down there).
Museums originally started with the Library of Alexandria (a true home for the muses), then as British explorers built their collections, everyone had to have a "Cabinet of Curiosities."  These eventually grew into a "Roomful of Curiosities" until they got so big they had to be donated to a university.  I can imagine some British wife becoming exasperated with the piles of unorganized curiosities taking over the house, and complaining "Either this goes or I do!" Thus the modern museum was born.
