Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum (Branson, MO, United States)


 What do you think when you saw the building? It is hit by a massive earthquake? The Branson museum is one of a chain of museums, housing the bizarre artifacts owned by the Ripley franchise. The building was designed to commerate the devastating earthquake, which registered over 8.0 on the Richter Scale, in 1812 in New Madrid, Missouri. The earthquake made the Mississippi River run backwards for three days and made Church bells ring in Philadelphia. So, the crack across the building gives the impression that it has just survived its own earthquake. The building has become one of the most photographed in world because of it.
