A Very Unusual Museum
Last week we went on a school trip. We visited a very unusual place. The tourist
information centre and the guest house next door have created the Hair Museum.
Calling it a museum may be a bit strange as it has thousands of pieces of hair, all
from women who have visited the place. The story goes that the local guide was
saying goodbye to a good friend of his, when he asked for something to remember
her by. She cut off a piece of her hair and gave it to him. He put it up in his shop,
and then he told the story to all the tourists who visited his shop. Then, other
women who enjoyed the story left a piece of their hair, as well.
The museum started in 1979 when different pieces of hair were put on show. It now holds about 16,000 pieces
of hair and is included in the Guinness Book of World Records. There's also another reason to leave some
hair; twice a year there is a competition and the winning pieces of hair are chosen. The people who left the
pieces of hair that won get a message inviting them back to stay for one night in the guest house next door,
without having to pay, during the summer months.
While the tourist information centre and the guest house are busy all year round, the museum is also full of
hair and they have now filled up an area of the information centre with more pieces of hair. Visitors can walk
down the room in the museum with hair on every available part of the walls and ceilings. Pencils, paper and
scissors are offered to those wanting to add their own piece to the museum. They write their name, age and
address on the paper.
