Leila’s Hair Museum is a unique museum that displays antique hair art collections. It has a gallery that displays all kinds of hair wreaths collected across decades, centuries, and eras to preserve the art. Leila Cohoon founded the Hair Museum in 1986 when she opened its first location.

However, the idea of antique hair art collection dates back to 1956 when she discovered a gold frame (6” x 6”) with a small wreath of human hair at an antique dealer she visited. Her passion for collecting antique hair art was ignited with the discovery of the gold frame with a wreath of hair. She developed the need and urge to preserve the form of art.

The hair museum is the only one of its kind in the entire world.
