Speaking of bars as museums, there is a student hangout in Tucson, Arizona that is incredible in the amount of stuff hanging off its walls. The Bum Steer has artifacts ranging from Western saddles to an entire airplane (a biplane) hanging overhead. There are gimcracks and paintings, Western cowboy gear and tools all over the walls. No labels, but none are really necessay. Also, there was a bar in Jolon, California (next to Fort Hunter-Ligget) that had a door leading off the main room. When the door was flung open, a huge polar bear rearing up on its hind legs could be seen and was usually used to scare the beejeezus out of someone's drunken buddy. The bar was the Ruby Mine, but has been taken over and turned into a respectable restaurant and the bear is now gone. Here is Arizona, we have a postcard that shows a man riding a jackalope, but I haven't seen any solid examples of such a creature.
