Many years ago when my brother and I were still living at home our parents arranged a short vacation in Copenhagen and one of the places that we visited was Ripley's believe it or not museum. My brother and I loved the place and we spent a lot of time looking at the many unusual things. We weren't very old that time and we found that museum a lot more fascinating than the historical museums and art museums that my parents prefered 
I haven't visited the museum since that time, but I know that the museum still exists in Copenhagen, because one of my friends has been there recently. She told me that a new section had been added (a horror museum) and she liked the museum.
Are there any Ripley's believe it or not museums near you and have you ever visited one of those museums? Did you enjoy the exhibitions? Why/why not?

In Chennai we have a museum where they have kept all the things used by kings and others who lives thousands of years ago. I visited museums in Hyderabad - Salarjung museum and one more in Kolkata also.
Here in USA I visited Ford Museum -- they have kept display of Ford car from its beginning and the things used by him in those years. nicely maintained.

The museums that you described sound interesting. I like to visit different kinds of museums in my own country and abroad. If I manage to get a visa for India I want to visit Chennai. I have a friend who lives there. We have been penpals since 1999 and today we communicate on Facebook. I hope to visit him in the future and I would also like to travel around and visit other places in India.

That is a very good website with lots of information 
I think that the sections about archaeology, anthropology and art sound especially interesting

It is a pity that there aren't any of those museums near you. There are many of those museums in the US and also some museums in other countries. Maybe your country will also get a Ripley museum one day. I haven't visited the museum for a long time, because Copenhagen is not that close to my home, but I might visit it again one day. My friend told me that there has been some changes since I visited the place many years ago. The tv programs about pets and animals sound interesting. I am a big animal lover, and I think that I would enjoy those tv programmes, too.

I usually take a vacation down @ Ocean City, Maryland... I've been going there little over 20 years... There's Ripley's Believe it or not museum on boardwalk... I make a point to visit at least once while I'm down there... I like the stuff they have in there & every so often they'll change the display... One I like the most is spinning tunnel I walk through... It does throw your balance off while you're in there...

The spinning tunnel sounds interesting. It is nice that they change the display sometimes. That way there are new things to discover even if you have already visited the museum in the past. I would like to visit Ripley's believe it or not museum when I travel in around in the US in the future. I hope to travel around for 2 or 3 months and visit a lot of different places. I think that they also change the display in in Ripley's in Copenhagen. I don't live close to Copenhagen and I haven't been there recently, but my friend has been there and she told me about the changes.

I live in England and i've been to both Blackpool and London Ripley's believe it or not museums over here and i have enjoyed both. I also have multiple Ripley books of facts. I love these factual freakish books and amazing stories. such as the bermuda triangle and the deck chair plane haha.

I also love the unusual stories from those books. I don't have any of the books in my home, but I have borrowed some of them at the library. I would like to read the books again, some of the stories are pretty amazing and I like unusual things. I didn't know that there were Ripley's believe or not in both London and Blackpool. Maybe I will get the chance to visit those museums when I travel around in the UK. I have visited the Ripley's believe it or not museum in Copenhagen, but that was many years ago, and I would like to visit it again. I remember how much my brother and I enjoyed the museum in the past, and it would be interesting to visit it again.

Hi Porco,i haven't got the chance to visit any of Ripley's museum. Sounds more interesting if have the chance to visit and look at those unusual things. So far, i ever read Ripley's books and even watch their interesting shows. Do we have to pay when visit that special museum? How i wish i have the chance to visit it in the future. As for my area here, we have lots of museums of interesting. The famous museum is the Cat's museum.

I hope that you will get the chance to visit one of the musuems in the future. I know that there are Ripley's museums in many countries around the world. I visited the one in Copenhagen many years ago and I had a really good time there. My brother and I found that museum much more interesting than the historical museums that my parents usually visited My friend has recently been to the museum in the Copenhagen, so I know that the museum still exists. I think that it could be interesting to visit it again or maybe visit one of the other museums around the world.

I went to Niagara Falls in Canada for a trip and there was a Ripley's museum there. I really wanted to go but I didn't have the time. I hope that I could go back over there and go see the museum. I love reading the books and the ripleys tv shows. Have a great day.

I hope that you will get the chance to visit the museum another time. I haven't read any of the Ripley books and or seen any of the tv shows, but I would be interested in them if we can find them in my country. I enjoyed visiting the Riplay believe or not museum in Copenhagen. I went there with my parents and my brother many years ago and I haven't had the chance to visit the museum since that time, but I would like to visit it again when I go back to Copenhagen.
