A California museum has every Pez dispenser ever made, and 28 other odd museums

Sure, you might have been to the MoMa or the Guggenheim, but what about the Museum of Pez Memorabilia?

Our friends at Mental Floss have compiled a list of 29 weird museums, most of which are oddly specific. It's hard to believe that the Kansas Barbed Wire Museum found 2400 different examples of barbed wire to showcase or that Minnesota dedicated an entire museum to Spam (yes, the meat), but it's true.

The most memorable museum on the list, though, might be the Icelandic Phallological Museum, which houses more than 280 phalluses from 93 different animal species. Host John Green also notes this gem of a description from the website of Croatia's Museum of Broken Relationships: "The museum offers a chance to overcome an emotional collapse through creation: by contributing to the Museum's collection."
