The Freakiest Museum OUT there

How unique to find that a blog that wants your vote on the freakiest Museum in the world. Go to http://museumreviews.blogspot.com/ and some of the comments are amazing. Fancy touring exhibits on condoms or visit an exhibit on the evolution of bras.

The freakiest exhibition I experienced is at the Sarawak Museum in Kuching. On the 1st level, there are real human skulls hanging on the pillars in what is a replica of Ibanese longhouse. There are few skrunk heads. You want to keep you head low as you take the tour inside the bamboo structure or else you might come in contact with the wandering spirits.

Muzium Negara too won several accolades many years ago with a Ghost exhibition. Over 1 million visitors paid to see vampires, ghouls , and what have you. The Negeri Sembilan Museum Board tried to follow suit in their museum in Seremban but backfired when the muftis feared such exhibition would make public lean more to superstition.
