About this audio guide
This guide to Ripley's Believe It or Not! in Copenhagen follows Robert Ripley from a teenage sports cartoonist sidelined by an arm injury to the creator of a newspaper panel that made him rich and sent him circling the globe eighteen times collecting oddities. It traces how his obsession with strangers' impossible-sounding claims grew into the Odditorium format he began opening in the 1930s, staffed with researchers and translators to verify what readers sent in. Wander both floors here on Radhuspladsen and judge the claims for yourself.
