Peter Mitterhofter Typewriter Museum - Partschins-Parcines, Italy

Open since 1998, this purpose-built museum in Italy’s Bolzano region holds over 1,500 typewriter models in its permanent collection. The museum was built in honour of Peter Mitterhofer, one of the machine’s many accredited inventors, with the help of typewriter collector Kurt Ryba’s donation “for all times and as an inalienable cultural heritage.”

Spanning 4 floors, the museum displays its most polished examples as part of a vast chronology of key-punching and space bar slapping, complete with theatrical re-stagings for those unable to imagine how things were typed before repetitive strain injury was conceived.

AVANOS HAIR MUSEUM -  AVANOS - TURKEY

Locks of women's hair adorn the walls of a cave/house/pottery center with a surprisingly touching origin.

The story goes that the local potter was bidding farewell to a dear friend of his when he asked for something to remember her by. She cut off a piece of her hair to leave as a reminder. He put it up in his shop, and told the story to the visitors and tourists who passed through. Not to be outdone, other women who enjoyed the story left a piece of their hair as well.
