Most museum shops are a letdown, filled with cheap imitations and tacky souvenirs. Fortunately there are some that offer faithful replicas - of everything from cutting-edge architecture to millennium sold jewelry - as well as items that reflect the spirit of their collections.

And doesn’t he kind of look like an ex-convict? The answers don’t really matter. For those who are entertained by Buddhist monks and brief-wearing Neanderthals, for those amused by priests rocking out to strobe lights and Native Americans dancing with dead animals (may they rest in peace), for all those who simply wonder why Sebastien is so cheap: This is the video...
