Michigan is home to some simply awesome museums. You can check out marvelous mechanic devices at Marvin's in Farmington Hills or you can tour a former functional prison cell block in Jackson. If you love art, cars, toys or ships, there are plenty of museums to visit within our state. From the quirky to the scientific, there is seriously a museum for everyone here.

None of them can really be compared, though, to the tiny museum housed inside a Michigan State University office. The Moist Towelette Museum is real and you can see it in person.

What is it?

As you might have guessed, based on its name, the Moist Towelette Museum is a collection of moist towelettes. Collected over the years by John French, the museum has become so well-known that strangers often send him interesting moist towelettes to add to the display.

Where is it?

Sorry, Wolverines, but you'll have to visit your least-favorite place if you want to check out this wacky museum. Yes, we mean Michigan State University.

The entire museum is contained on shelves in the office of French, who is the Planetarium Production Coordinator at MSU.

Exact location: Room 100, Abrams Planetarium, Michigan State University, 755 Science Road, East Lansing

What if I can't make it to MSU?

You're in luck! You can still get a taste of the museum without traveling to East Lansing.

French operates a website, known as the Moist Towelette Online Museum, where you can see some of the interesting acquisitions he has made over the years.

Highlights include a towelette used for mammograms, a denture towelette and Star Trek towelettes.
