2 . American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore, USA
Tel:410-244-1900
Ever looked at some artwork in a gallery (no doubt with words of praise printed on the wall) and thought: What's so special about that? I could do that. In fact, I could do better. Well, the American Visionary Art Museum is for you. Grounded in the idea that not all great artists go to art school, the museum focuses on self-taught art, resulting in some of the most inspirational art you'll ever see.

Ikeda, a small city in Osaka, is the birthplace of instant noodles. The galleries at its Cup Noodles Museum document the journey from chicken noodles to “space noodles”. It’s a great place, where you can make your own noodles, create your own packaging and walk through an “instant noodles tunnel (隧道)”.
Museo Subacuático de Arte, Cancún, Mexico
Tel:998-810-4508
You can't help but wonder how the archaeologists of the future will describe the museum. At first sight, the underwater gallery looks like a rediscovered ancient city. It contains over 500 sculptures(雕塑品) of six different artists, which have been placed on the ocean floor for snorkelling(浮潜) tourists (and schools of fish). The museum may also be viewed by glass-bottom boat.
Vent Haven Museum, Kentucky, USA
Tel:859-341-0461
There’s something extremely charming about entering a room and seeing a crowd of ventriloquist dummies(口技假人) staring back at you. That’s what you get at Vent Haven Museum, which houses more than 900 dummies. It started as one man’s private collection, and it’s still semi-private (you’ve got to book a tour 48 hours before arriving). This is the perfect place to find out how to get into the ventriloquism game.
