The Ripley's Believe It or Not! Orlando Odditorium promises a world of weirdness and wackiness from the onset. The building is constructed to look like it's falling into a sinkhole on one side.

True to the Robert Ripley's reputation as a man who chronicled the bizarre from around the globe, the museum/odditorium includes sixteen galleries that house artifacts, weird art and bizarre collections that will boggle the mind.

As one of 27 Ripley museums worldwide, the Orlando Odditorium's collection includes dinosaur bones and eggs, a life-sized Rolls Royce made entirely of matchsticks, shrunken heads, and other items that have chronicled Ripley's world travels and enthusiasm for unique and bizarre customs.

Other items on display include a piece of the Berlin Wall, a Mona Lisa made out of toast and a portrait of Van Gogh made from 3,000 postcards.

In all, 400 exhibits, artifacts and displays are available for closeup viewing.
