The all-new Ripley’s San Antonio Odditorium, the largest and most interactive Ripley’s to date, has opened its doors in San Antonio next just across from the Alamo.

• the car that dropped off Lee Harvey Oswald that fateful morning
• a two-trunked elephant

• a 512-pound iron meteorite
• locks of hair from Marilyn Monroe
• a 23-foot-tall Eiffel Tower…made from toothpicks
• the mummified head of American cannibal Alfred Packer
