Ripley's Believe It Or Not!

The quirky and world famous Ripley's Believe It or Not!®, the global authority on the weird, strange and bizarre, has opened its doors to the public in the heart of London's West End at 1 Piccadilly Circus. Bringing a host of peculiar and wonderful exhibits never before seen in the UK, the museum of oddities occupies 24,000 square feet and is set to become one of London's major tourist destinations and a top family attraction.

Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum offers a unique mixture of entertainment, education and fun for the entire family - appealing to anyone with a basic sense of curiosity. Guests of all ages will appreciate the 500-plus authentic, original and unbelievable exhibits.

From a two-headed calf and Vampire Killing Kits to a 3,000 pound piece of the Berlin Wall, a Swarovski-Covered Crystal Mini Cooper worth £500,000 and three unbelievable human shrunken heads from Ecuador, the new attraction will feature exhibits so bizarre it will leave visitors wondering if something so outlandish could really be true.

Additional strange items on display include a magnificent portrait of Lady Diana made of laundry lint from a clothes dryer, a copy of The Last Supper painted on a grain of rice, the famous sweater worn by Marilyn Monroe during her last photo shoot on the beaches of Malibu, a mummified man, and a genuine moon rock.

Robert Ripley, the globetrotting creator of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! cartoon in 1918, displayed his first collection of oddities at the Chicago World's Fair in 1933, filling the exhibition hall with hundreds of genuine artefacts he had gathered from his travels to more than 200 countries.
