What's the weirdest thing you cannot forget in a museum?

Many years ago I visited the Raclawice painting in Wroclaw in Poland. It is a huge cyclindrical painting that make you feel that you are a part of the painting. I still remember the feeling very clearly. The 3D effect was amazing. I looked at the painting and I knew that it was just a painting, but it looked like the things from the painting were physical things in front of me. It was a really strange experience to stand in front of the painting because the things that I knew about it and the things that I saw with my eyes just didn't match. I stared at the painting and I didn't know what to believe. I KNEW that it was just a painting but the things that I saw with my eyes made me question my rational knowledge and made me totally confused

The first time I went to our Natural History Museum was as a young child. I think about six, what impressed me the most were the insects, I was always very afraid of the insects I knew but to find we shared the earth with so many more just terrified me. I'm still not to fond of these things.

That was kind of strange. I work in museums so I see lots of weird things. The funniest thing I'll always remember was cleaning out an old historic building at the museum one fall. I was upstairs organizing a huge pile of body parts. They were manicans that were all in pieces. It was funny.

That's pretty scary for other people, I bet. The weirdest thing that happened to me in a museum was get confused because of an abstract painting. It was an educational outing in gradeschool to the city museum. There was a guide but she didn't discuss the painting to us so I tried to understand what it meant. Til now, I can still remember how it looked like, but I still have no idea what it was.

hi, actually i still never been in a museum,though my college university is only near in the Museum,maybe its really fun for being inside of the Museum because even in field trip when i was in high school i never been visit that place.i want to be there also because i still never been there since before.

I do not understand why you staring eyes at that mummy? Is it because his eyes are so beautiful to look at? I did not know I should believe it or not something like this but this mummy may have a curse. Luckily he not killed you. For me i dont like to look at mummy because they look scary.

I have gone to this museum inside a resort in Laguna boundary of Quezon south of Luzon, Philippines.The museum is only open to resort patrons and it has about a few hours of opened time, it was not well maintained and i think it was even an old church that is not being used already and turned into a museum. most of the items there were old coins, old dresses or clothes that people wear hundreds of years ago, and there was this really weird, creepy and scary thing that was in one of the glass cabinet displayed... a shrunken head. there was a little description in it, quite inadequate if you got curious, if you ask me... later on i found out that it was being done in some parts of africa as part of a ritual. i wonder how the owners off the resort ( a prominent family anyway) got hold of such. It sure was a tedious process and was done by some tribes when they get hold of their enemy tribe, decapitate them, and shrink their heads... as a form of spell of some sort.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well i remember that i was very small when i had been to a museum with my dad and that time i could not get anything what was depicted and written in the pictures and sculptures and every time my dad was telling me i was simply smiling but i was laughing from within. It was a very funny experience. Well coming back to u even i get scared to see mummies and hence i never encounter them otherwise i would be scared like u. He he he. What say?
