Museum of Natural & Artificial Ephemerata

A quaint museum in a South Austin home that has a wonderful collection of unusual items (some on permanent display and others in rotating exhibitions). The owners -- Scott and Jen -- are very friendly and provide guided tours of the museum. One item that stood out was a cigarette butt from supposedly the last cigarette that Marilyn Monroe rolled and smoked -- at least according to the L.A. gentleman who gave it to them!
