People sometimes mention quirky museums along the way in passing, and I have to say the latter is one of the most whimsical of them all.Museum of Imaginary Rocks
What kind of miniatures?miniatures
Awww. Sweet.He made little houses and villages.
This, of course, is a quirky answer, about which even Google fails me.I don't think you could get much quirkier than Michelle's 'museum' in Rabe.
In Ages I found what I usually describe as garden ornaments but today I will say I discovered an eclectic outdoor art museum. Here's just a few pieces I found there.Its not a museum as such but in Ages, an elderly man has created a whole shed full of miniatures, that he has made from wood. He showed us through, it was quite amazing.

I know by now it's not this, @Joker, but has anyone been here?:Michelle's 'museum' in Rabe.
I'm without words.a great underground space where the deck of his sailing ship has been meticulously recreated, with the prow soaring upwards to a skylight.
Lovely, so heartwarming.Miguel in Ages
Ummm. Sounds a bit intense.The Beast of Gevaudan Museum in Saugues on the Via Podiensis exemplifies quirky. A series of rooms with animatronics telling the story of the mega-wolf's rampage through the countryside:
Darn! @SabsP and I missed it!!puppet museum in Tolosa (Camino Vasco Interior) this year:
Missed this one too. Definitely quirky.unusual museum in Mazarife, on the Frances. A former employee of the telephone company put this together
Ummmm. Yeah, maybe pass.Museo de la Tortura
Just for kicks, I asked GoogleMaps, which says there are many hammy museums in Spain.There is a museum of ham
Oh wonderful indeed! If anyone reads this who is planning to walk the Primitivo soon, maybe stop by to show him he's famous! (Same with everyone!)Quirky, weird and wonderful.
@truenorthpilgrim and the forum software got in each other's way with the Google Maps link. Try this:I’m not sure if this passes quirky muster, but the little museum in Fisterra is an absolute delight.
It counts.not a museum, but in the back of the restaurant at Casa Barbadelo there's a large room with antique sewing machines, cameras, and typewriters.
Oh. That definoely sounds fun. The volcano one too.Sadly the giant squid museum in Luarca
I'm sure you say this with humour, but I still feel the need to defend it! I wasn't able to go inside, just see the various outdoor items kept in the courtyard, but I think the website shows some amazing rooms and a unique repository of early ways of surviving and living in rural Asturias.I'm not as keen to visit this one on the Camino Primitivo: http://museodegrandas.com
I'm glad you did - I think I may have posted in haste and perhaps with the wrong link.I'm sure you say this with humour, but I still feel the need to defend it!
The toy museum includes a huge model train set, if you want to indulge your inner kid
A huge model train? Oh, yeah...It'd be fun.The one I chose not to visit on the Primitivo was about dentistry
Totally! Quirky and fun with the tour guide and one of local friends.A most unusual museum in Mazarife, on the Frances. A former employee of the telephone company put this together and he was charming, very proud of his efforts. I highly recommend a visit
Yes, by all means, visit the telephone museum in Villar de Mazarife. The owner is charming and knowledgable. His museum offers an excellent history of telecommunications in Spain.A most unusual museum in Mazarife, on the Frances. A former employee of the telephone company put this together and he was charming, very proud of his efforts. I highly recommend a visit

I have no personal unique or quirky museum stories to share from my Caminos, but I enjoy "quirky" things and sometimes quirky people, too.Does anyone have fun memories to share?
