Leila’s Hair Museum is perhaps the world’s greatest collection of jewelry and other artifacts made of human hair.
On display are hirsute necklaces, hat pins, wreathes and even hair trees, one of which resembles a palm. No pruning necessary.
Beyond the thousands of just plain curiosities, the museum gathers strands of history. “We have a mourning broach that contains a lock from Daniel Webster with 32 seed pearls representing tears, and it’s dated the day of his death,†says Linda Goldsmith, tour guide.
