Commonly known as “Dracula’s Castle” this amazing building was the home of the title character in Bram Stoker’s Dracula. There is, however, no evidence that Stoker knew anything about this castle, which has only tangential associations with Vlad III, the putative inspiration for Dracula.

The castle is now a museum which is displaying art and furniture collected by Queen Marie. As you already know, the Bran Castle is a tourist attraction mostly because of the Dracula legend and if you are one of those tourists that likes visiting creepy, stunning castles like this one, pack your bags and have a nice trip! Until then scroll down and enter virtually inside ‘Dracula’s home’ in Transylvania.

Abandoned 10 years ago, the beautiful and creepy Nara Dreamland park in Japan is the perfect place for photographers because sometimes abandoned places like this are more attractive to capture than anything else.

Nara Dreamland was built in 1961 as Japan’s answer to Disneyland, which had opened in California the previous decade. Towards the end of its life the park struggled with low visitor numbers and was eventually forced to close. Now the sweets in the vending machines are no longer safe to eat and the heart-pounding rides are now as still as the fiberglass mascots which haunt the landscape.

This place is a popular destination for urban explorers. Additionally, many have reported hearing strange noises near the park’s boats. Some speculate that it may be caused by a running water pump or a type of bull frog. Would you pack your bags and check where the sound comes from? If you’re an adventurous traveler you would, but if you only want to check this creepy yet amazing park, just scroll down and enjoy!

The Museum Of Bad Art is the World’s only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition and celebration of bad art in all its forms. It’s located in Dedham with current branches in Somerville, Brookline, and South Weymouth in Massachusetts.

The museum was founded in 1994, after antique dealer Scott Wilson showed a painting he had recovered from the trash to some friends, who suggested starting a collection.

For more than 20 years, they’ve been dedicated to presenting the best in bad art. The museum bills itself as “the world’s only museum dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and celebration of bad art in all its forms.”

It’s collection currently totals about 600 pieces. Scroll down and take a look at it! This kind of art will teach you that in every bad there is always something good!

Today we decided to write about something you may or may haven’t heard of. It’s a way of taking photos, called frog’s perspective.

If you wonder why frog’s perspective, just remember how people say that they’ve made some awesome photos from an airplane, or better said from a bird’s perspective. Well, the opposite of bird’s perspective, in the world of artists is the frog’s.

Now, if you think that amazing photos can be made only from above, you are totally wrong and this photos we have collected for you, are going to prove that.

Also, according to me, photographers who have chosen to take photos from this perspective, are much more creative and realistic, because it’s not how much beauty you see in the World when you are above it, but how much beauty you see in it when you are down. Enjoy!

Who says that architects aren’t real artists? If you think that they can only construct normal, boring buildings, you’re wrong.

Maybe they wanted to study art and after finishing architecture they realized of their mistake at picking the right school or maybe they just want to be creative, we don’t know, but we sure know that some architects are doing their job better than you can imagine.

Just looking at these buildings on picture can make you wonder if you’re in a science fiction movie or are they really that big and have that amazing shape. We won’t mention what you will feel like standing in front of them. Scroll down and enjoy!

If you haven’t, the temple of the Sun Solstice in Machu Picchu is a semi-circular construction built over a strong rock, adapted to the natural environment.

On the temple of the Sun there’s a tower with a trapezoidal window, built over a rock of pure granite and in this place the persons who were in charge of the cult of the INTI (The principal god, the Sun) they keep several mummies to be worshiped.

This place is a must see attraction on you agenda, since that this is a very special place with great energy. The gate has a very interested security system, which includes many metal rings that functioned to avoid that the common people was able to watch the rituals dedicated to the sun. Take a look!
