Top 10 Strangest Museums Ever
Across the world, there are museums of history, of art and of science. Some of the most famous include the Louvre, the Smithsonian and San Francisco’s Exploratorium. But for as many famous museums as there are around the world, there are just as many strange museums. To make it on this list, the wackier museum is the better. 10. Leeds Castle Dog Collar Museum  Everyone loves their pets. A pet museum might be interesting, but a museum dedicated to dog collars, not so much. However, that’s what London offers with more than 100 specimens that range from Medieval times to the Victorian Age. It looks like the Leeds Castle Dog Collar Museum has a collar on the competition!

6. Marikina City Shoe Museum
 It only seems appropriate that former First Lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos’ shoe collection would be a part of the Marikina City Shoe Museum.
