There are a lot of strange museums in the world, but the Musee du Slip (Underpants Museum) in Brussels, Belgium might take the title of strangest. It features framed underwear placed on the heads of famous Europeans.

Belgian artist Jan Bucquoy, who owns the museum, says that framed underwear represents a utopian longing for an equal society. “If I had portrayed Hitler in his underpants there would not have been a war. I think in this way you can contribute to a better world,” Bucquoy told Reuters on Friday. “If you are scared of someone, just imagine them in their underpants. The hierarchy will fall and you will see that this is a guy like any other. We are all equal, all brothers.”

Each pair comes with a certificate of authenticity and must have been worn at least once by the donor.

Yes, that’s French President Nicholas Sarkozy with striped underwear on his head.
