Museum of the Weird

Given the city's adopted slogan "Keep Austin Weird," the Museum of the Weird's title naturally produces high expectations; lucky for you, it doesn't disappoint. The museum is located in a small building, but appearances can be deceiving: its stuffed to the brim with curious and unusual artifacts that will have you oohing and aahing for ages. Wax figures, shrunken heads, Bigfoot's footprints, hairy fish, and a fiji mermaid are all treasures that you'll discover during your visit. Don't forget to check out Ballyhoo Betty the circus performer - explanation not necessary.
