Leila's Hair Museum
These days, jewelry(首饰) made of hair seems like something that is not very popular among people, but during the Victorian Era(维多利亚时期),it was common to create and wear jewelry made of hair — especially the hair of loved ones.Leila's Hair Museum has a lot of hair wreaths (花环) and jewelry pieces from the Victorian Era and earlier. It even has pieces containing hair from Queen Victoria, US presidents and Marilyn Monroe, a famous actress.
Giant Shoe Museum
Located in the famous Pike Place Market of Seattle, the US, the Giant Shoe Museum is a single exhibit wall located outside a store. To see the museum's collection, a visitor must drop a 25-cent coin into coin boxes and then look through a stereoscope(立体镜) that shows different kinds of giant shoes.
