Must see location in Augusta. Very interesting counter culture/freak show aesthetic museum and building that houses all sorts of neat and freaky stuff. They had a grand opening freak show stage on their first day which was absolutely great. Totally worth bringing your friends and...Read More

If you haven't visited this curio in Augusta yet, you're doing yourself a disservice!Filled with curiosities and various other historical items and it items that defy conventional description, it certainly fits in the spectrum of the weird/other worldly/side show.The show takes about a good 2-2.5...Read More

The last dying Musemum of its kind. Honestly, before stepping into this place I thought there wasn't much culture to Augusta, I do love being proven wrong. Pexcho is a collector of oddities and carnies that would take more than the 2+ hour tour to...Read More

Right out of Guillermo Del Toro’s ouvre, is the Dime store museum of Pexcho’s. Cash only guarantees flights of fancy. If facts are what you’re after, that duty falls to whatever research you do and not to the Mustachioed Pierced Proprietor. The shadowy history of...Read More

Today we saw a T-rex skeleton, shrunken heads, a sword swallower, and more! YES IN AUGUSTA, GA! This is NOT a boring museum; it is a full guided (entertaining) tour through oddities. It’s appropriate for kids (if they can hold their attention with a tour...Read More

Peter Pexcho is hands down an amazing person. He took the time to really engage in every person who was there to see the museum. In the 5 days I've spent in Augusta Georgia, his Dime Museum has been my top favorite thing to do...Read More

My family and I absolutely LOVE the dime museum. We had just arrived in Augusta and stumbled in with another group. We were NOT expecting something THIS amazing. The best part isn't all the cool things you're seeing, it's the showmanship of Peter Pexcho. The...Read More

In a word.....Incredible! In this day and age of instant gratification, it was so refreshing to slow down, step back in time, and be entertained by true masters of the art..not once but twice. Mr. Pexcho and "Red" put on a show both informative and...Read More
