These sound so cool, and make me want to seek out obscure museums in my area!
The most obscure one I've ever been (and haven't been to since I was in grade school, alas) was the mercury mining museum, because my hometown used to be home to mines! There were a lot of plaques and models of the area, but the thing that really stood out to me as a child was being allowed to (carefully) hold one of the fancy old-school glass mercury thermometers, and holding a small glass vial of pure mercury so I could feel how dense it was.
