Odd museums of the world

Many times when we visit a foreign city in a foreign country or at home, some like to learn about the culture of that place. In order to do that, humans created museums. There's history, arts, town, sports, personal, and finally there's this category I call "Odd museums". These are collections of unclassifiable stuff that sometimes makes us laugh and others salute the effort of the collector who devoted time and money to this pastime. Please do send me links to any " Odd museums" in your town.
