Museum of the Fantastic
Wanted to give you an update on this museum. Today we visited Sisters, Oregon and saw The Museum of the Fantastic located in the Visitor Information Center at Ash and Hood Street. We saw Olaf the nine foot giant. The flyer reads: "See 1940's mechanical monkeys accompanying a ten foot toe-tapping elephant. The only relic to survive the Hindenburg disaster. Over 1800 dolls on display. Willie Mays' rookie jersey. Babe Ruth's autographed baseball from the 1932 world series. Gangster Al Capone's bullet-proof vest."
We had a blast pushing buttons to activate a 10 foot elephant and various other mechanical creatures. WE SAW A WORKING ROBBIE THE ROBOT! It was bizarre to see actual artifacts from Hitler in the middle of Oregon. Oh, and a real treasure was the laughing lady from the old San Fransisco fun house (she laughs when someone steps on a mat in front of her).
