Photos of world's coolest junk-house

Kirsten sez, "One of the strangest places I've ever been was the House on the Rock in Wisconsin. It's best described as a collection of collections - the gradual accumulation of, well, everything. There's entire rooms full of miniature circus dioramas. There's an full orchestra of mannequin automata that mime along with the music. There's a room called the Infinity Room that, if you look at it from the right angle, appears to go on forever. There's a bigger-than-life-size whale fighting a giant squid and rooms full of exotic decor and armour and toys and the paths go on for literally miles. It's dizzying." Link (Thanks, Kirsten!)
