While everybody has heard of traditionally famous museums such as the Louvre and the Guggenheim, Trendhunters have found some much more unique exhibits featuring fast food, urinals, exotic cars, rare home appliances, and even Wal-Mart relics.
For the most part, these museums reflect more modern history in the making, rather than typical high school history artifacts.
Imagine returning from a vacation with gifts and pictures from these exhibits, rather than traditional tourist trap pictures that can be found in any library or encyclopedia from 10 years ago!
