Pexcho’s American Dime Museum recently announced that it was rated number one museum by the Georgia Business Journal.
Owner Peter Excho opened the venue, devoted to exhibiting historical sideshow oddities and art, in 2019. One of its most recent exhibits is the “World’s First 2-Headed T-Rex.”
Excho was inspired by the original American Dime Museum in Baltimore, Md., which closed in 2006.
