Here is a list of 5 Towns they all have a museum in them but Be aware Most of the items are Gruesome

What Items do they display?

#1 Florence, Italy
#2 Husavik, Iceland
#3 Rixheim, France
#4 Meguro, Japan
#5 Keszthely, Hungary

TIP :Most of us will opt for 3 & 5 as the best of the bunch

And Pretty please DO not Give a link to the Place For obvious reasons

AP Admin remove same please?

In Florence there is an anatomical museum called La specola which has wax figures showing the insides of bodies etc. It is quite horrific in parts. Is this the answer you are looking for?

No Jenny
Try again
You're on the Right Lines though about the Theme

Once again, someone provided an answer that fit the question, only to find that it isn't the right answer Bedstor was thinking of.

DG These all have legit weblinks Yet put it this way they are close to the Edge
Not exactly Ripleys nor the Mutter Museum Philadelphia, PA which is Wiki'd

And I'd say all the places are findable on Google

It doesn't matter who has weblinks, or how close anything is to the edge (). You asked a question, she gave an answer that fit the conditions of the question. You say that it's not the answer. Either her answer is correct, or you are playing a variation of "Guess how many fingers I am holding up."

I agree with DG on this one ... look at my question here and your answer Bedstor and my reply !

If more than one answers are appropriated, then the question was not well formulated.

With all due respects Bedstor, Jenny had a good answer!

Think I'll have to always say half right or your're warm (It's another Place) in future Mozart
Mind you I think I approached that answer (on the link) from an angle...No better answer by the way

PS Its just one of those things if there are overlapping answers to the question

And I've got caught in the Trap a few times

Jenny's answer isn't "warm" or "half right". It's right. It answered the question that was asked. And it is not "just one of those things if there are overlapping answers to the question." It is up to the person writing the question to write such a question so as to elicit the desired answer. If another answer fits the question, a better-phrased question should have been written. But when an answer meets the conditions set forth in the question, it is a right answer, and should be acknowledged as such.

...What??

Bedstor, I have googled this question for nearly two hours yesterday and couldn't find any link whatsoever between the five places you quote. I only know of this mesuem in Florence because I have been there. I googled 'museums in Keszthely and Rixheim and nothing 'bizarre' came up. You have to agree with DG and Mozart that some of your questions are rather obscure.

Well, there's a famous English wallpaper museum in Rixheim. That could be pretty gruesome. I've seen samples!

Absolutely Babs! You will be pleased to know that the current fashion in the UK is plain, neutral colours at the moment.
That was the only museum I found in Rixheim too!

The wallpaper museum Is correct

so #3 is solved

And to shut up the rest of you
And Point at the Doors of the Other Palaces of Exotic Tat here are some strong clues

#1 Crime
#2 Human and Animal parts
#4 Medical (Perhaps the worst of the Lot?)
#5 Baker/confectionary

The Bargello, also known as the Bargello Palace or Palazzo del Popolo (Palace of the People) is a former barracks and prison, now an art museum, in Florence, Italy. (So now we have at least two right answers for Florence, although La Specola is certainly the more "gruesome" of the two.

The Icelandic Phallological Museum is probably the only museum in the world to contain a collection of phallic specimens belonging to all the various types of mammal found in a single country.

Meguro Parasitological Museum

A warm welcome awaits you at our family run Marzipan Museum here in Keszthely

2, 4 & 5 all correct DG Well done

Another clue to the Florence museum @#1 think CSI and Silent Witness (UK)

Links to La Specola

http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/museum_of_natural_history.html
Near the bottom are some pictures of some of the wax figures: "The Skinned Man", Anatomical wax study of the artery system. The wax collection, unique in the quantity and beauty of its pieces, was created in order to teach anatomy without having to directly observe a cadaver.

The Waxen Bodies of La Specola
Life-size anatomical wax reconstructions of bodies, plague victims and other unsavoury things are on display at the La Specola, the zoological section of the Natural History Museum in Florence.

. The anatomical models were created between 1771 and 1850 by Florentine artisans using highly skilled and elaborate techniques. Over 1400 models were created, with the purpose of allowing the teaching of anatomy without perilous and unpalatable direct contact with corpses. Clinical, morbid and impeccably executed, the exhibits are a fascinating example of the skill and scientific knowledge of 18th and 19th-century anatomists.

Among the curious highlights of a visit are the almost complete works of Gaetano Zumbo, a famous 17th-century Florentine ceroplasta, or waxworker, who among other things created a series of works entitled the Cere della Peste, three representations of bodies in the throes of the plague. There is also a model of a decomposing head, created with wax superimposed on a real human skull, and a collection of miniatures portraying the various stages of the ravages of syphilis.

Some pictures of a few of the exhibits. Some very graphic pictures.

So now there are three correct answers to the Florence museum.

Since I can't think of a more gruesome (Bedstor's word) museum than La Specola, I am stopping now. I just hope it's not as gruesome as textiles or pastries.

Hang on a minute, from Bedstor's original clue, he gave the impression that all the museums contained something on the same theme, ie, horror. Now the answers are being revealed, I see no connection between them at all. I also found the phallological museum in Iceland but did not see it as 'horror'. And how can a wallpaper museum be gruesome? Now I have found a marzipan model in Hungary. Gruesome? I think not, and why can I not post a link to it. I hardly think anyone will be offended by marzipan.This thread has got totally ridiculous and off- topic. I will answer no more of these type of trivia questions.

Jenny, the only reason I answered this was to get it over and done with. Of course, I should have known that one of the question had multiple answers, and, if wallpaper and marzipan qualify as gruesome, it would not surprise me to find other "gruesome" museums in some of the other cities as well. (Florence has many museums, some dedicated to religious art. Some people would find depictions of a crucifixion rather gruesome. I guess the Florence question has dozens of answers, then.)
