10. Velveteria, Los Angeles
On a lighter note, visit the Velveteria, a museum dedicated to the collection and display of all things velvet. First opened in Portland in 2005, it has moved to Los Angeles and is now known as the Velveteria Epicenter of Art Fighting Cultural Deprivation.
With subjects ranging from Jesus blessing an 18-wheeler to nudes to mythical creatures, the art in Velveteria has no rhyme or reason. And the owners, Carl Baldwin and Caren Anderson would have it no other way. Theirs is simply a collection of all things velvet art. The museum displays 400 paintings from their personal collection of over 2,000 pieces.
Fancy a day with a velvet Michael Jackson and a nude Britney Spears? Visit Velveteria at 711 New High St, Los Angeles.
