Peter Mitterhofer Typewriter Museum
Parcines, Italy. Look at the early machines and see how their different arrangements solve the same problem of putting a letter on paper. In a town connected to inventor Peter Mitterhofer, the keyboard is the end of several very different experiments.

Marikina Shoe Museum
Marikina, Philippines. Part of the appeal is seeing shoes in a city with a distinct shoemaking history. Look for the personal collection of Imelda Marcos beside footwear associated with other public figures and consider what each pair was made to say about its wearer.

Jell-O Gallery Museum
Le Roy, New York, United States. Compare advertising images that show gelatin as everything from a simple dessert to an elaborate centerpiece. The town is where the branded mix got its start, so the promotions double as a piece of local history.
