Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum, Myrtle Beach, SC - Here's a
"virtual tour" of the Ripley's Museum, photos taken by me August 1,
2002. I chose the weirdest things on the tour - have fun! |
A Four legged chicken.
|
A calf with an extra leg growing on his back.
|
A rhinoceros made of chrome bumpers from cars.
|
A two headed baby skeleton.
|
The tallest man! Our Brenda sure looks short, doesn't she?
|
A man with a horn growing from his head - this is a wax model of the real guy.
|
A two headed calf - the skull was preserved.
|
A badly deformed goat skull.
|
Large walrus teeth used as money.
|
A five legged pig.
|
A ram skull showing deformities - the plaque says one horn continued to grow
inward until it pierced his brain and caused his death.
|
Cat armor! How much do you love your cat?
|
A television made of toast! Gee, you can watch TV and snack at the same
time! for awhile anyway.
|
A lovely bust made of paper bags.
|
This is a cane made of shark vertebrae that was purchased from my husband, Glenn
Reed, for the museum. (he bought another for his own collection)
|
A Van Gogh made of jelly beans - mmm not bad!
|
A shrunken head - Ripley's
does have an impressive collection of genuine shrunken heads - I'll try to get a flash photo next time,
folks!

Heads, here's a link to Shrunken Heads page

In the same display, here's a warrior with a club lined with shark teeth - quite
a weapon!
|
On the humorous side, a bit of gallows humor for the dentist in your life!
This was a replica of a real one.
|
And another last bit of humor - this tombstone says "This Is On
Me". Hope you had a fun tour, and it cost you
nothing! Those are the best - feel free to visit the museum, as there were
many other exhibits - we sure had fun!
