In the Ripley's Odditorium in Amsterdam, there is a loin cloth-clad doll that is so incredibly detailed and realistic, they say you might mistake it for a real person. Adored by company founder Robert Ripley since he acquired it in the 1930s, Edward Meyer, Ripley's VP of Exhibits & Archives, says it’s one of the collection’s most popular objects. "And everybody wants to lift the loin cloth," he adds, with a laugh. (We're told what's beneath the cloth is equally realistic.)
