Kuching Cat Museum, Malaysia

Cats are considered lucky in Malaysia, as in many Asian cultures, and the Kuching Cat Museum in Sarawak pays respectful, if slightly wacky, homage to these fortune-bestowing felines. For starters, you enter the UFO-style building through a giant cat face. Inside await exhibitions, artifacts, artworks, and ephemera dedicated to cats. The pièce de résistance: a thousand-year-old mummified Egyptian kitty. The museum is on a hill, with great views of the city of Kuching—which translates as “cat city.” —Emma Sloley
