This Roadside Attraction In Texas Is The Most Unique Thing You’ve Ever Seen

Discover the best hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest, known for their stunning scenic views and diverse landscapes.

From the world's largest pair of cowboy boots to an enormous fire hydrant with Dalmatian spots, we have some pretty bizarre roadside attractions in Texas - however, I think a museum consisting entirely of decorated toilet seats just might take the cake. Here's everything you need to know about this oddity in San Antonio.

Barney Smith, the creator and owner of the museum, is a retired plumber who was inspired one day on the job to start turning old toilet seats into art.

A house he was working in had about 50 toilet seats out by the street for heavy trash, and he suddenly had the idea to ask the owners if he could take them.

They agreed, and the rest is history - now, over 1200 seats plaster the museum walls for the public's viewing pleasure.

The art ranges from personal aspects of Barney's life like his eye surgery and late wife, Louise, to tributes to national tragedies like the JFK assassination.

He also has a license plate from each state glued onto a seat, and visitors from that state can sign their names!

He even payed homage to his dentist with this seat featuring molds, pliers, and other dental equipment. I think you'd be hard-pressed to come up with something that he DOESN'T have a seat for!

Have you ever been to the toilet seat museum? What about any of these bizarre roadside oddities in Texas?
