Skeletons: Museum of Osteology in Orlando is the largest skeleton museum in the US. This museum was started by a family in Oklahoma. According to the owner, Jay Villemarette, his fascination with skulls and skeletons started when he was 7 years old when he found an animal skull in the woods. He collected them in his free time and introduced his wife, Kim, to his passion. Jay and Kim wanted to share their passion and opened the only 2 skeleton museums in America.
