I absolutely adore the idea of teaching for fun, and the Washington 826DC 'Museum of Unnatural History' is going to rear a generation of very confused children.
The not-for-profit organization takes an unconventional approach to education, providing workshops and field trips for youths from the age of 6 to 18. Showcasing inaccurate artifacts from 'Unicorn Tears' and 'Primordial Soup' to 'Existentially Confused Wood,' I can't help but think that the 826DC Museum of Unnatural History should be targeted towards adults with an eccentric sense of humor like myself.
