History buffs, art fans, and those looking to skip normal tourist attractions: Here are six of the craziest museums around the world you should definitely check out.
From a museum devoted to purposely bad art, to another that aims to reduce the stigma of toilets, here are the top six you should visit:
1.) Jeju Loveland on Jeju Island in South Korea
South Korea’s Museum of Sex and Health has a gallery called Jeju Loveland that features over 140 highly pornographic sculptures scattered around outside. The larger-than-life statues display masturbation and sex between humans and animals. Since the material is incredibly explicit, there is a separate waiting area for children while their parents can view some X-rated material, according to Travel Crazy Korea.
