Avanos Hair Museum

About 30 years ago potter Chez Galip opened The Hair Museum in Avanos, Cappadocia in Turkey. According to Oddity Central, Galip opened the museum after a departing friend left him a piece of her hair. The museum, located below Galip's shop, is home to thousands of locks of hair that women have left over the years.I saw the pictures first on BuzzFeed and when doing an Internet search discovered, that while this hair museum sadly has no site, there is a site for Leila's Hair Museum in Independence, Missouri. Leila's museum is a collection of wreaths and jewelry all made from hair.
