The unusual museum was opened in 1979 in Turkey. The idea belonged to a local potter who broke up with his lover. According to legend, he asked the girl to leave at least something in memory of her. And she gave him a curl. His potter hung in his shop. When clients asked the master what kind of curl it was, he told them his touching love story. Some girls were so impressed by what they heard that they left their curls “for the collection”. The potter’s shop turned over time into a museum.
