Montana is home to some pretty impressive museums, like the notable Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman. But sometimes it’s fun to explore the quirky, offbeat museums in our state that feature collections you won’t find anywhere else. These are five of our oddest.
- American Computer & Robotics Museum, 2023 Stadium Dr #1A, Bozeman

- Legacy Doll Museum, 3206 6th Ave N., Billings

Legacy Doll Museum Facebook This Billings museum promotes doll preservation and has quite a collection, some of which dates back to the early days of doll-making. While this looks interesting for doll collectors, we probably wouldn’t want to be left alone inside after dark.
- Glendive Dinosaur & Fossil Museum, 139 State St.

- Miracle of America Museum, 36094 Memory Ln., Polson

Miracle of America Museum Facebook This museum is quirky in the most wonderful of ways. Here you’ll discover everything from the walking-plow to walking on the moon.
- O’Fallon Historical Museum, 723 S Main St., Baker

Weird or not, we’re happy to have so many fascinating museums in Montana. Check out our haunted prison museum in Deer Lodge.
