Robert Ripley's travels took him around the world in search of the unbelievable and inexplicable. First published in 1929, Ripley's works were read worldwide in over 300 newspapers, translated into 17 languages and held a readership of over 80 million. Each of the 27 museums worldwide are 90% unique from the others. Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museums are proud to offer you this fantastic collection of the world's strangest oddities!

Ripley's stories of the odd and unusual entered millions of living rooms across America via radio. Amongst the rarest curiosities in the Ripley collection of unbelievable artifacts were 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!"

A trip through the Odditorium is a self-guided experience which can last as long as you wish, although the average visit time is one to two hours.
