America's famous exhibition of the odd and the bizarre, Ripley's Believe It or Not!®, is opening a museum in London's iconic Trocadero in August 2008. The museum will be over five floors of the Piccadilly Circus building and will include a four-meter model of Tower Bridge made out of matchsticks, a 545-pound meteorite, and a 27-inch hairball found inside a cow's stomach! There are 30 Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museums (also known as Odditoriums) in operation, including one in Blackpool, UK.
