The Muskegon Museum of Art presents "Oddities & Delights", an exhibition celebrating the odd, quirky, and unexpected art that calls the Muskegon Museum of Art home.

Opening as of September 14, they say Oddities & Delights is sure to be an exhibition you will never forget.

The new exhibit showcases the strange and fantastical artwork from the museum's permanent collection. They say the pieces are usually tucked away in storage or only brought out for special occasions. You'll find works that are playful, fun, weird, and offbeat, such as:

• Two-headed bronze deer
• Glass cheeseburger and fries
• Life mask of Abraham Lincoln
• Vehicles made from discarded parts
• Chest freezer transformed into a cow
• Fabric skinned cats with visible wooden skeletons
