So many photo ops! A vast collection of taxidermy, antler art, a mosaic made from rattlesnake tails, a freak show, and gallery of optical illusions. Fun place to spend half an hour. The bar is free and is kitschy itself.

Museum is open and is free with donation suggested. As mentioned, the only real mural is the large tank outside but inside still has a nice collection of mostly photos and patches. It's easy to tell how much the late founder of the museum loved NASA and space exploration.
