For all its historical significance, the Museo Histórico de la Universidad de Sta. Isabel in Naga City remains low-key, drawing its appeal from the stories it tells rather than from grandeur
Ioannina is a beautiful Greek city located on the shores of Lake Pamvotis. The history of Ioannina begins in pre-historic times and continues to this day.

In a city known for sleek design, serious museums, and ambitious architecture, FLOP museum celebrates something far less polished: failure.
Located in Oslo’s Bjørvika district, close to the Opera House, MUNCH, and Barcode, this small museum is dedicated to products, inventions, and ideas that were launched with confidence but did not go quite as planned. Inside, visitors meet forgotten gadgets,…

For centuries, mariners feared the waters around Cape Hatteras in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. Shifting sands and powerful storms make the area especially hazardous and unpredictable. More than 5,000 ships sank in these waters in the last 500 years, and it has long been known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
A fascinating museum at the southern tip of Hatteras Island tells the story in…

In downtown Dallas at 501 Elm Street, a few steps from Dealey Plaza, sits a two-story museum dedicated to money. Not the kind of museum where currency lives behind glass. Visitors here are handed a route through 28 exhibits and told to touch everything.
Some of it is pure spectacle. There is a booth where dollar bills shower down on whoever steps inside. There is a vault visitors can attempt to…
This museum is based at the former Moorside Mills textile factory (built 1874). Originally, only 2 stories the mill was extended upwards by 2 floors during the boom period of WW1 and in 1919 an impressive clock tower was added as a memorial to the factory's workers who fell in the war.

In the best of times, it would be a tall order to try to wrangle the entire history of the United States in a single exhibit. Given how far in advance museums start planning their shows, Dear America at the National Gallery of Art has surely been in the works well before a second Trump […]
Most of the country’s roughly 16,700 museums are small, under-resourced operations, often housed in aging or historic structures that are expensive to maintain and even harder to upgrade.
Hobo Freddie the Freeloader, country boy Clem Kadiddlehopper, the bumbling Sheriff Deadeye, con man San Fernando Red, Junior the Mean Widdle Kid, Red Jones—the Fuller Brush Man—and boxer Cauliflower McPugg.

This unusual set of dentures was made in the 1940s by a California miner named George Washington Hancock, who couldn't afford conventional dental care. He needed teeth, so he made them.
