My NYC: "Believe It Or Not!"

In July 2007 this little, but much worth coming, museum reopened in NYC and is situated not far from the Times Square. It's always, always busy: during the week and on weekends - and no wonder why! :)

Believe It or Not! is a franchise, founded by Robert Ripley, which deals in bizarre events and items so strange and unusual that readers might question the claims. The Believe It or Not panel proved popular and was later adapted into a wide variety of formats, including radio, television, comic books, a chain of museums and a book series.
The Ripley collection includes 20,000 photographs, 30,000 artifacts and more than 100,000 cartoon panels. With 80-plus attractions, the Orlando-based Ripley Entertainment, Inc., a division of the Jim Pattison Group, is a global company with an annual attendance of more than 12 million guests.

It probably has many more new things, artifacts, pictures and exhibits, but here's my trip to the museum in 2007 just a week after it reopened in NYC ;)

Some "people" were real dressed up staff members scaring the h**l out of us! :P

A piece of the REAL Berlin Wall is also to be seen there! Awesome, right? ;)
