Ripley's Believe It or Not!, Interactive oddities museum in Cuauhtémoc, Mexico.
Ripley's Believe It or Not! is a museum in Mexico City that displays over 500 objects, photographs, and interactive exhibits. The collection showcases unusual discoveries and extraordinary human achievements gathered from around the world.
The museum began with Robert Ripley, who traveled to more than 200 countries in the early 20th century collecting extraordinary objects. His passion for gathering unusual items and documenting strange phenomena established the foundation for what visitors see today.
The collection brings together objects from Mexico and beyond that make visitors think differently about human abilities and natural phenomena. Walking through the rooms, you encounter stories and artifacts that challenge what seems normal or possible.
The museum is easy to navigate and organized so visitors can move through the rooms at their own pace. Plan to spend at least two to three hours to fully explore the interactive stations and examine the exhibits.
The museum houses authentic shrunken heads and a genuine albino giraffe specimen that are rarely seen elsewhere. These rarities demonstrate how far Ripley's collecting passion extended to truly unusual objects.
