Museum of oddities heads to India

The world's biggest freak show is about to hit India.

Shrunken human heads from South Africa. A freak animal with six legs and two heads. A skeleton of a mastodon, a prehistoric elephant-like animal. A rock from Mars, which was dislodged when a meteorite hit the planet.



All this and more quirky and bizarre items will be on display at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! museum due to open by the end of this year in the southern Indian city of Bangalore.

The Canada-based Ripley's Entertainment Company runs some 64 attractions in 11 countries and has been in the business for 85 years.
