Turquoise Trail
Tinkertown Museum, NM
It took one man 40 years to create the whimsical, 22-room Tinkertown Museum. The outside of the museum was formed with over 50,000 glass bottles, and inside, magical carvings and figures are displayed in miniature scenes from a circus to Star Wars.
Antiques and hand-carved pieces line the museum walls - from Esmeralda the Fortune Teller who will tell your fortune for a quarter, to Otto the one-man-band, who will play a song for the same price.
Just 20 minutes north of Albuquerque, the museum attracts young and old.
