Ripleys St Augustine is filled with unique exhibits
that you won’t find anywhere else. In fact, Robert
Ripley made it his life’s goal to seek out the most
captivating oddities in the world. The young
Ripley, began his career at the
age of 14 when he sold a cartoon to LIFE Magazine.
He quickly gained prominence as a sports cartoonist,
landing a job at the New York Globe. One day, Ripley drew a series of cartoons
featuring unusual sporting events. He gave it the
name, “Believe It or Not!” As the cartoon became
more and more popular, Ripley began to travel the
world seeking out new and unusual things to feature
in his cartoon. An eccentric by nature, Ripley was
extremely passionate about his work. Today, the
collections at the various Ripley’s Believe It or
Not! Museums showcase some of the bizarre artifacts
he came across during his travels and tell the
stories of the unusual people and cultures he
encountered along his way.
At Ripleys St Augustine, you’ll see 800 exhibits,
including a real shrunken human head, amazing works
of art such as a man made completely out of shredded
money and a manatee made of soda cans, and bizarre
odds and ends from every corner of the globe. If
you’re lucky, you might also encounter one of the
ghosts said to haunt Ripleys St Augustine, which was
originally built in the 1880s and was a private
residence and then a hotel before housing Ripley’s
astounding collection.
