Also there's a model railway museum in Balboa Park in San Diego that I thoroughly enjoyed and Mrs Thistle thought was "okay".

Zetor’s fine, they serve the food in sauna buckets and are remarkably patient about you posing in the tractors. The only issue is the 70s adult literature they’ve used as wallpaper in the gents which is often awkward to explain to your 4 year old.
Ravintola Harald around the corner is an overpriced tourist trap but you get plastic Viking helmets and the meat comes served on swords, so, you know, is worth it.

For my recent birthday, mrs stefan gifted me a VIP membership for the Guitar Museum in Umeå. This enables me free entrance for the rest of the year. Only problem is it's 600 km away. I do intend to go there before the year's up, as the collection of quite valuable gear brought together over the years by two regular guys is quite remarkable.

I liked the Lead toy soldiers museum in Valencia. It's very silly, mind. And until I found that page just now I didn't have a clue that it purported to tell the history of Valencia and Spain. When I went there was quite a large bit given over to something to do with the American Civil War, if my memory isn't playing tricks on me.

On Saturday I went round the Glasgow Police Museum:
http://www.policemuseum.org.uk/
I went round in a little under an hour, but found it very interesting and the people who run it are all ex-police so make for fascinating conversation. I had a long conversation with one of them about why they think serial killer Peter Tobin is Bible John.

So, the Pez dispenser museum is 'underwhelming'. Who knew, eh?
I remember seeing Florida's Cypress Knee Museum years ago - 'knees' in this instance being the strange knobbly extensions cultivated into cypress trees by various methods. (I always felt that 'trees with knees' sounded a bit like 'chicks with dicks', but that's just me.) Sadly, said establishment appears to be no more:

(Can somebody perhaps correct the typo in the thread header?)

We didn't make it to the Coffin Museum, unfortunately. On the plus side, did end up at Akrams in the evening. Thoroughly recommended.

There's a small hedgehog museum as part of St. Tiggywinkles Animal Sanctuary in Aylesbury. It features items like a Sonic the Hedgehog Arcade Machine, hedgehog ornaments etc. The best exhibit by far is a signed picture from the actor who played Dave Hedgehog in Bottom.

I went to Ilfracombe Museum a few weeks ago and it contained a pickled two-headed kitten and (the curator informed me) the largest collection of early 20th century wedding cakes in the world. Preserved for almost one hundred years. Also has brass rubbings and a large amount of taxidermy as any local museum should.
