The Quirkiest In Siberia: Museum At The Dump (Garbage Landfill)

Someone’s trash is someone else’s treasure. 

Off of a highway through the Siberian forest, an incredibly random stop in the middle of nowhere on the outskirts of Irkutsk is an open-air, free-of-charge, eclectic stop, called: Museum at the Dump.

This is where workers in the surrounding neighborhood have created a medieval-themed fortress, full of quirky sculptures constructed from, quite literally, trash. Visitors can see monster trucks, charger war horses, and serpentine dragons.

All the exhibitions in the museum are entirely made from waste and scrap materials, originally started as a personal project for the local workers who found interesting items in the trash.

It goes to show that someone’s trash can definitely become someone else’s treasure.
