Locations:
Gopher Hole Museum
208 1 St S, Torrington, Alberta, T0M 2B0
PlanetEye Guide
The Torrington Gopher Museum building contains about 40 dioramas set in neatly constructed wooden boxes, each to represent a gopher hole. Inside the “holes” are all manner of taxidermied gophers, dressed in costumes and carrying on anthropomorphic (human) activities. There is the gopher yard sale, the gopher hairdresser, the gopher mountie, the gopher preacher, and so on. All of it is very witty and enchanting. Is it really world famous? It deserves to be so. A gift shop is attached.

When Leila Cohoon tells people she owns a hair museum, they envision old curling irons, hair dyers, and other such tools. However, this is not the case. There are 159 wreaths and over 2,000 pieces of jewelry containing, or made of, human hair dating before 1900.
Fortezza Medicea
Piazza dei Priori, 20, Pisa, Italy
PlanetEye Guide
Launched in 2006 in a 500-year-old prison outside Pisa, Fortezza Medicea is a kind of social experiment: can a restaurant staffed by some of Italy’s most hardened criminals provide viable job training? Guests find out by shuffling into a massive room filled with plain benches, where guards (not maitre d’s) survey the crowd.
