Dead Celebrity Museum
Elvis Presley’s Hips
Fit for a king. The very same pair that shocked the world on “The Ed Sullivan” Show back in 1956.
Fred Astaire’s Feet
The smoothest pair in town–Stuffed and mounted for your viewing pleasure. Better keep an eye on them, or they just might tap, tap tap away!
A Bag of Marlon Brando’s Fat
Over 300 pounds of pure Brando. Intercepted before it could be shipped off to the Dove™ soap company.
Al Jolson’s Blackface
The most controversial item in our collection. Although scorned today, Jolson’s “minstrel” routine was beloved by millions throughout the early to mid-tewentieth century. His face is here displayed to remind us of our checkered past.
Kurt Cobain’s ‘Pixies’ Poster
Nirvana rocker Kurt Cobain liked this 80’s alternative band so much, he had their poster pasted up in the room where he would ultimately end his life by gunfire. It’s fun to see musicians inspire other artists!
Mel Blanc’s Vocal Cords
The cords that birth over 1000 voices–including Bugs Bunny, Tweety Bird and Barney Rubble.
The Stingray that Killed Steve Irwin
The only living thing in this museum. This aquatic killer is well taken care of here, but not quite like it “took care” of the Crocodile Hunter.
The Many Faces of Joan Rivers
This beautiful panorama displays every iteration of the beloved comedian’s face over the span of her 50+ year career.
…All this and much, MUCH more! So come on down today!
