"Ripley's Believe It or Not!" is a franchise that showcases unusual and bizarre facts from around the world. Founded by Robert Ripley in 1918, it began as a newspaper cartoon and has since expanded into museums, books, and television shows. The exhibits often feature oddities, rare artifacts, and extraordinary human feats, inviting visitors to explore the strange and the unbelievable. The first Ripley's museum opened in 1933 in St. Augustine, Florida, and today there are locations in various cities worldwide. Each museum presents a unique collection of exhibits, including shrunken heads, unusual art, and records of extraordinary achievements, all designed to entertain and educate audiences about the world's oddities.
