Very interesting tiny museum filled with lots of fun facts on random objects!
You have to be a lover of random facts to truly enjoy this place, otherwise I wouldn't recommend coming :)

Neat place, although note that if you're an English-only speaker you'll have to look up each item in a big encyclopedia-style book.

The smallest museum I've ever seen!
Just a VERY small room.

Interesting artefacts and items in the museum displayed in a very minimal way. Owner wasn't the most friendly, however, there was a lot of character in the descriptions of each item, which were also each selected for their uniqueness. Recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Looks nice but very unfriendly to anyone who isn't compley fluent in German. There are maybe 15 items currently. The room itself is interesting, but only if you're in the area already.

The Museum of Unheard of Things is a wunderkammer of artistic, scientific, and technical objects from everyday life over the years. The objects in the collection are all arranged by their weight, and plastered all over the museum walls. The items themselves are not the entirely the point, though—what’s really on display is the remarkable but overlooked or untold—and unheard—stories behind them.

Each seemingly simple object tells a story or has a legend or myth surrounding it. The mystery of petrified potatoes, the story behind the fur of a Bonsai deer or the cow-pie worshipping community, or how sacramental wine lost its red color are just some of the things you can learn in this unique exhibition. Located in an East Germany factory building, the museum is curated by artist Roland Albrecht, who also has a book by the same name. The idea behind both is to encourage people to pause and reassess their world view, to think about the bigger story behind the everyday things we take for granted.
