Australia Has Its Very Own Mad Max Museum

With Mad Max: Fury Road still tearing through the pop culture landscape like a war rig through a post-apocalyptic desert, now is the perfect time to pay a visit to Australia’s only Mad Max museum.
The museum is the brainchild of super-fan Adrian Bennett, who was so passionate about Mad Max 2 that he moved all the way from England to establish his very own shrine to the film in Silverton, NSW, where it was filmed.
A series of shack-like corrugated iron buildings set against the dramatic, dusty-red landscape of the outback, the museum itself looks like something straight out of the film it’s inspired by.
Over the years, Bennett has amassed quite the collection of costumes, behind-the-scenes photographs, vehicles (original and replica) and other memorabilia, all available for viewing–who says people don’t believe in heroes anymore?
