Probably because it offers you the unique occasion to actually take a look at what crawls on your inside and outside. This research facility is the only one in the world that invites guests inside to explore exhibits on parasites and their life cycles with over 300 actual specimens on display. The piece de resistance is a 30-foot tapeworm pulled out of a woman who had reportedly picked it up eating sushi. It has no entrance fee whatsoever, so there\u2019s more to spend on posters with intestinal parasites.<\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0<i style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Museum of Funeral Carriages<\/i><b>, Barcelona<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-of-the-World\u2019s-Strangest-Museums2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-22691\" alt=\"7 of the World\u2019s Strangest Museums2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-of-the-World\u2019s-Strangest-Museums2-550x412.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-of-the-World\u2019s-Strangest-Museums2-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-of-the-World\u2019s-Strangest-Museums2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-of-the-World\u2019s-Strangest-Museums2-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thisblogrules.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/7-of-the-World\u2019s-Strangest-Museums2.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The vehicles used to transport the deceased have always intrigued many due to their unusual energy, but they definitely have grandeur, as you can simply witness by exploring <i>the <\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.barcelonaturisme.com\/ECV2TBCN\/Front\/BCNShop\/Sales\/Disponibilitat-Producte\/_vf-SMlY1yItM-U_l9RgLJgsyU0uRJi84ADMp1rsdO54zjG-Rij_I-sndE3IXRch-JKB5A1ky_VYQCXIULAambhWRPCDdwQkMIkaS4Ca8pNul4L1RH0WCWTUvye-LvhIw\" target=\"_blank\"><i>Funeral Carriage Museum<\/i> <\/a>in Barcelona, Spain. \u00a0The exhibit consists of 13 beautiful funeral carriages and six coaches that were used to transport departed citizens to their eternal resting place.<b><\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><\/b><b><i>3.
