The Atlas Obscura has become the web’s preeminent site for touring the weird collections of the world. Recently, they’ve announced that they’ll be offering city tours at locations around the world…starting in Philly.

Beginning this summer, the Atlas Obscura will be offering day and weekend tours of the world’s most wondrous, curious, and esoteric cities. We’ll be setting up back-room visits at museums, tours of private collections, meetings with fascinating people, and stops at a variety of curious and obscure spots.

I can imagine that they’d pick the Mutter — that’s kind of obvious — but where else? There’s a crazy amount of weird in this town…stay tuned
