The Museum of Nonsense – the Museum of weird inventions opened in Austria
At about an hour outside of Vienna, in Herrnbaumgarten, Austria was opened this month The Museum of Nonsense. Fritz Gall is an Austrian inventor who, however, didn’t manage to invent something special. But he obtained some money in order to fund the opening of a museum dedicated to weird, unuseful objects. And it seems the museum is quite a success.
I remember reading a while ago an article on most strange and stupid gadgets ever invented. I admit I laughed at some. So this Museum of Nonsense sounds like a good idea. I am sure there are many inventions that can be catalogued as strange, unnecessary or unuseful.
The museum, as I already mentioned, is localized in Herrnbaumgarten – the hometown of the inventor – and it is only one hour from Vienna.
I didn’t find – unfortunately – an official website of the museum – but I really want to go visit it next time I’ll be in Vienna. And that shouldn’t be so hard as there are many cheap package holidays available with just a click.
I saw some photos here and below is a video that appears also on an article on Huffington Post dedicated to the museum. I found out about the museum via Slashdot.

Interesting! I wondered where all those unwanted Christmas gifts went every year. Kind of want to go and reclaim a lot of it back!
