From a house covered in beer cans to a sculpture made of vintage cars, these quirky attractions prove that one person's "strange" is another's sublime. In this video, we'll be exploring 10 of the most delightfully bizarre landmarks around the globe and the fascinating stories behind them.
We'll start our journey in the Czech Republic, where a TV tower crawling with giant baby statues looms over Prague. Then we'll head to the California desert to marvel at a fluorescent mountain made of adobe and paint, all constructed by one dedicated man over decades.
In South Africa, a 56-foot-tall pineapple building houses a museum on the fruit's history, while in Tennessee, an ever-evolving metal sculpture garden called Mindfield serves as one artist's diary in steel. We'll see an upside-down house in Poland, a Stonehenge replica made of cars in Nebraska, and a crooked fairy tale cottage that looks straight out of Alice in Wonderland.
But we've saved the best - or at least the weirdest - for last. A trip to Texas takes us to the Beer Can House, where one man's 20-year hobby turned his home into a gleaming aluminum palace. Then it's off to the tiny town of Brasstown, North Carolina, for their annual New Year's Eve "Possum Drop" - a tradition that's exactly what it sounds like. Finally, we'll cross the Atlantic to visit perhaps the most mind-boggling museum on Earth: Iceland's Phallological Museum, home to the world's largest collection of mammal phalluses.
