The Orlando Odditorium appears
to be sinking into one of Florida's infamous sinkholes. For over
40 years, Robert Ripley® -- the modern Marco Polo and the real-life Indiana
Jones-- traveled the world collecting the unbelievable, the inexplicable,
the one-of-a-kind. All of it amazing and much of it extremely
amusing. His collection is housed in over 27 museums in 10
countries. Each museum’s collection is 90% unique and
different.
Kids seem to get a big kick out of
the two-headed kitten and the two-headed calf. While you're bound to be
intrigued by the Mona Lisa made out of toast, and the Rolls Royce made from
1,016,711 matchsticks, the most popular recent exhibit has been the African
fertility statues which when rubbed have purportedly put several previously
childless women in the family way!
Amongst the rarest curiosities in the Ripley
collection of unbelievable artifacts are shrunken heads
from Ecuador, South America. Believe It or Not! a shrunken
head was once sent to Ripley with the following note:
"Please take good care of this. I think it is one of
my relatives!"
As
Ripley’s
ghost says "Come in... look around... and
see if you Believe It or Not!®"
