The Museum of Ridiculously Interesting Things

is actually a Website, not a physical location
http://ridiculouslyinteresting.wordpress.com/
featuring posts about such things as advertisements for leeches, Victorian pictures of children with their mothers hiding in the background, tiny coffins found in a Scottish cave, etc., but what I find most interesting is that the blogger is doing a PhD thesis on images of quote monstrous unquote bodies, which means that there is a strong intersection with disability and non-normative bodies. I also think that the embroidered straitjackets are a very cool inspiration for a Halloween costume.
