The Avanos hair museum situated in Cappadocia in Turkey is notably one of the strangest museums that you will come across. The museum is located in a small cave, underneath a pottery shop and contains hair samples, names and addresses from more than 16,000 women from all around the world.
The museum was founded by Chez Galip, a talented potter in Avanos. According to Oddity Central, the museum was started over 30 years ago, when one of Galip’s friends had to leave Avanos, and he was very sad. To leave him something to remember her by, the woman cut a piece of her hair and gave it to the potter. Since then, the women who visited his place and heard the story gave him a piece of their hair and their complete address. Throughout the years, he has amassed an impressive collection of over 16,000 differently colored locks of hair, from women all around the world.
Good thing Voodoo doesn't really exist. If it did, and you wanted to put a love spell on a woman, all you'd have to do to get a lock of her hair is give her a free trip to Cappadocia and tell her to not forget visiting the hair museum... :)
