It was originally created by Robert Ripley (1893-1949) and is the largest museum franchise business in the world, with 31 locations worldwide. The new branch on Jeju Island (near the entrance of Jungmun Resort, Seogwipo-si) is the 32nd location and 11th country for the chain.
The museum features some 600 astounding, one-of-a-kind items collected by Ripley the explorer during his travels over 35 years to 198 different countries.
