Seattle is a quirky town overflowing with fun things to do, especially when it comes to its museums. Check out these top five museums that always bring the fun.

The Museum of Pop Culture
This museum celebrates all things related to the popular culture of our time. Whether it be Star Trek, Nirvana or the Minecraft exhibit, every visitor to this attraction will find something that speaks to them.

Chihuly Garden and Glass 
This museum, located in Seattle Center next to the iconic Space Needle, is home to a collection of stunning glasswork by artist Dale Chihuly. It won’t take long to explore the museum’s collection, but you are sure to enjoy the artist’s impressive pieces that utilize colorful blown glass to create stunning nature scenes and abstract art.

Ye Olde Curiosity Shop 
While technically not a museum — it’s actually a gift shop — there is an impressive collection of oddities on display that qualify it for this list. Located along the waterfront, visitors can check out the assortment that includes mummies, shrunken heads and even an eight-legged pig.

Seattle Pinball Museum 
This museum consists of a collection of vintage pinball machines on display for the purpose of preserving the history of pinball; however, it also doubles as a fully functioning arcade. Visitors can pay a flat price for unlimited play of more than 50 pinball machines dating all the way back to the 1960s.

Official Bad Art Museum of Art (OBAMA) 
Possibly the weirdest museum on this list, a visit here is sure to be one of the wackiest things you will do during your visit to Seattle. This museum is located inside Café Racer and has an odd assortment of some pretty bad artwork, including velvet paintings and paint by number pieces.
