How to Build an Ocean Hall

When the Ocean Hall exhibit opens in 2008, it will be the National Museum of Natural History’s largest exhibit. With 23,000 square feet of exhibit space, it will provide visitors with a unique and breathtaking introduction to the majesty of the ocean. To provide this experience, the Hall will have taken more than five years of planning, coordination, and construction. Want to learn how it all comes together? Welcome to How to Build an Ocean Hall!

ABOUT THE MUSEUM

The Museum of Hoaxes is dedicated to promoting knowledge about the phenomenon of hoaxes. On our blog (to the left) we post about dubious-sounding claims — and whatever else strikes our fancy. But there's more to the museum than the blog. Check out our historical wing, which contains hundreds of articles about famous hoaxes, arranged chronologically from the Middle Ages right up to the present. Our Gallery of the Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes Ever celebrates that one day of the year devoted to pranks and practical jokes. In our forum, you can chat with other MoH members. And there's much, much more. (See the site map further down this column.)

The Gallery of Monster Toys

The Gallery of Monster Toys is dedicated to preserving a disappearing facet of our popular culture. Vintage monster toys are typically overlooked by collectors, largely because they seem obsolete in today's world. The toys in this gallery are not, for the most part, "slick" or "hyper-detailed." They are humble and imperfect. They depict flawed, tortured creatures. These toys capture a time when horror was fun. A time when monsters seemed like "big brothers" to their young fans. I hope those who visit the Gallery will acquire an appreciation, not only for the toys pictured, but for all that they represent. This web site is for all those boys and girls who grew up watching Creature Features and Chiller Theaters, reading Famous Monsters of Filmland, and playing with these cherished toys...and for all those who wished they had.

Welcome to my digital watergun museum. The largest water gun museum on the internet. I have been collecting waterguns for over eighteen years now, and there are more than a 1000 different items in my collection. They range from lifelike machine guns to cartoon animals.

This site is still under construction. Recently I have added a link page to water gun manufacturers. You might find what you are looking for there. As I am not selling my water pistols.

Reactions and suggestions are always welcome. If you write, please let me know how you came across this site.

Elderly Sex Museum

Grandmother opens erotic art museum in Miami

The 71-year-old grandmother has the sign in six languages, and antique dealers all over the globe know they'll have to come up with goods, not just pillow talk, to impress her.

In October, Wilzig hung out a new sign, opening the World Erotic Art Museum in Miami Beach to display the 4,000-piece collection she has amassed. Now her museum attracts about 75 visitors a day, Wilzig said.

Visitors and collectors both say Wilzig's collection is impressive, and surprisingly informative.

While the two other U.S. museums focus largely on 20th century or American materials, lining Wilzig's walls are objects from places ranging from Amsterdam to Zaire.

There are 2,000-year-old terra-cotta Roman oil lamps depicting sexual scenes, jade and clay dildos from China and silk sex manuals from Japan called "shungas." Other objects are more modern - suggestive chess sets, perfume bottles, wind-up toys and even a phallic prop from the 1971 movie "A Clockwork Orange."

Then, there's the bed.

"You can't come through here without talking about the bed," Wilzig said.

She's talking about an oversized four-poster, with an 8-foot phallus at each corner. Its posts, headboard and footboard are cluttered with more than 150 different carvings of sexual positions. Wilzig says the bed's German creator offered to sell it after he divorced.

Eventually, however, Wilzig found an 18th century Japanese sex manual and presented it to her son. He was thrilled; her husband, Holocaust survivor and banker Siggi Wilzig, was less amused.

Now, she is at the museum most days, and she is finding that she is an exhibit, too. Visitors who recognize her from a video playing in the museum point at her. Some ask her questions. Wilzig says she doesn't mind. She is even quick to pull out her own museum label of sorts, one of her signs: Buying Erotica.

clipper's remarks: Got any money?

Clip Source: aes.iupui.edu

"The official image gallery site for the
International Bank Note Society (IBNS)"

The banknotes link on this page will take you to scanned images from my private collection and donated images from the general public. There are currently 20,000+ scans (over 10,000 notes - with individual front and back scans).

I believe I have succeeded in providing at least one banknote example for all current banknote producing countries (and a few that aren't around anymore). If you intend to download all of the scans, beware, there are currently over 3 Gigabytes of them on line!

free to use my images if you agree to the following criteria:

The images will be used for your own viewing pleasure.

You will use the images to promote World Paper Money collecting.

You will use the images in some form of educational capacity.

You will use the images in your personal homepage.

I enjoy feedback so if you can suggest improvements - send them on in.
