Museum in Atlantic City, which opened on the Boardwalk at New York Avenue on June 22, 1996 between two famous casinos.The museum has unusual objects including shrunken heads. Museum officials said recently that it will close on December 31 after more than 26 years. The museum has 14 galleries and over 400 exhibits. They include unusual objects such as a spider made from scissors and knives, a roulette table made of 14,000 jelly beans, and what the museum describes as the world􀆳s smallest production car.
