American Dime Museum, Curiosity museum in Baltimore, Maryland
The American Dime Museum displayed an extensive collection of oddities, including a two-headed pig, human hair jewelry, and preserved specimens from natural history.
Founded in 1999 by Richard Horne and James Taylor, this museum recreated the format of nineteenth-century dime museums that charged visitors ten cents for admission.
The museum collection reflected American entertainment traditions through exhibits of sideshow attractions, carnival memorabilia, and peculiar artifacts from different periods.
Located at 1808 Maryland Avenue in Baltimore, the museum occupied multiple rooms across two floors until its closure and auction in February 2007.
Among its notable exhibits was a Peruvian Amazon giantess mummy constructed from excelsior, shredded wood, linen, glue, and wire, as verified by National Geographic.
