Mysteries at the Museum
Host Don Wildman introduces us to a wide variety of museums from across the United States, each filled with extraordinary, often bizarre artifacts with amazing tales to be told -- and secrets to be revealed.
Artifacts include Alcatraz escape dummy heads, WWII Enigma code machine, Fiji Mermaid art relic, Apollo 13 air filter, Dymaxion pre-fabricated house, and Mona Lisa painting copy.
Artifacts include fossilized saber-tooth cat skull, "BOCKSCAR" B-29 Bomber aircraft, Cardiff Giant sculpture, Pullman train car light bracket, Air Force high-altitude parachute test dummy, and President George Washington's dentures.
A San Francisco fire truck and ancient mastodon reveal scandalous stories.
Simple objects reveal a complex, haunted past for Don Wildman.
Bonnie and Clyde's Gun - The Iwo Jima Flag - The Aerotrain 1955 - The Deep Sea Anglar Fish - Who reach the North Pole First - 1960 100,000 feet parachute Trial.
Artifacts include the "Spruce Goose" aircraft, a T-Rex skeleton, President William McKinley's torn nightshirt, empty picture frames from an art heist, a watch from the Johnstown flood, and the invention of the Slinky.
In the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, there's a small vial that once contained a wildly popular drug called Radithor. Don Wildman discovers how this doctor-approved "cure-all" end up destroying countless lives.
An early episode of the series from before host Don Wildman joined the show, this episode narrated by actor Jay Thomas includes artifacts relating to the attempted assassination of Teddy Roosevelt, the Cleveland, OH torso murder serial killer, the capture of the land speed record by the U.S. from the British, the sinking of the Titanic, the civil rights movement, and Bigfoot. Some of these segments later had new narration recorded by Wildman and were re-cut into newer episodes of the series.
