Rhode Island Has An Entire Museum Dedicated To Bizarre Curiosities And It’s As Awesome As You’d Think
Musée Patamécanique is a private museum located in the historic district of Bristol, Rhode Island. The odd part is, no one knows exactly where. Visitors are told to arrive at a local landmark and are then given wireless headphones and a map by a mysterious stranger. Using these tools you’ll hear an unusual history of the area and be led to the secret location of the museum. This unusual start is just the beginning of the Musée Patamécanique experience.
A hybrid between an automaton theater and a cabinet of curiosities, the museum calls on visitors to question everything they know about the physical and metaphysical world.
"In a world where everything can seem mundane, to preserve one's sense of wonder, one must seek out the little pockets of the strange, mystical, and delightful. The Musee is all of these and more," says visitor Logan Sullivan in a Facebook review.
