As economically depressed countries vie for the last tourist with money to spend on travel, I imagine boardrooms and bars full of folks trying to figure out unique tourist draws, noteworthy and odd. Perhaps if you shared my vision, you'd expect Museums to start popping from unused soil like those red poppies in May--and that by now Tourist Attractions and the neon that marks them would have covered everything on earth, just as you might think that UNESCO has named every last corner of The World a World Heritage Site.
But let's focus on Austria. If the Arnold Schwarzenegger Museum in Thal, Austria didn't make the tourists come a runnin', then dang if they didn't try something even grander and with pretty much the same theme. I'm talking about the Failed Inventions Museum in beautiful, downtown Herrnbaumgarten. Certainly you'd give up that villa in Tuscany to see "a bristleless toothbrush for people with no teeth," wouldn't you?
Those Austrians are very clever people.
