Believe it or Not: Ripley’s expanding empire of the bizarre

From Canada.com:

The first thing you’ll probably notice is the shark. At more than five metres long, it’s the biggest ever caught on rod and reel. What’s left of its two terrifying tonnes now hangs preserved above a dull warehouse floor.

There are also medieval torture devices, human skull drinking glasses, a Coke bottle-shaped coffin and curious mix of embalmed livestock born with too many heads or limbs. These items and many more are stored in a central Florida warehouse - all without an audience.

But their owner, Ripley Entertainment Inc., is doing its best change that. The Orlando-based company of “Believe it or Not!” fame has announced rapid expansion plans over the next year and a half, including at least four new locations from Spain to New York City - where those lonely curiosities might soon find homes.
