Museum of the Weird, Oddities museum in downtown Austin, United States
The Museum of the Weird displays an extensive collection of unusual artifacts, including mummies, shrunken heads, and carnival attractions across multiple exhibit rooms.
The establishment follows the tradition of P.T. Barnum's dime museums from the 1800s, where visitors could examine strange objects and supernatural phenomena.
Steve and Veronica Busti created this collection to preserve and showcase extraordinary items that reflect the alternative side of American entertainment.
The museum operates from 10 AM to 7 PM Monday through Thursday, and 10 AM to 9 PM Friday through Sunday at 412 East 6th Street.
Performers conduct live sideshow demonstrations for visitors, incorporating elements from the exhibits into their interactive entertainment routines.
