Ripley's returns to New York
New York City has welcomed back the spirit of Robert Ripley with the opening June 21 of Ripley's Believe It or Not! Times Square Odditorium. The opening marks the return of Ripley to New York, his home for more than 30 years.
Ripley’s Times Square houses the ultimate in the odd and bizarre, ranging from a section of the Berlin Wall to a 3,197lb meteorite, plus some items that are truly New York, including Babe Ruth’s “Believe It or Not’s” baseball uniform.
“We are thrilled to bring Believe It or Not! back to the city where, in 1918, Ripley coined that now famous phrase,” said Bob Masterson, president of Ripley Entertainment. “New York City is one of the most amazing cities in the world and it’s easy to see why Ripley made the Big Apple his home. This fantastic collection captures the essence of Mr Ripley, the eccentric collector who proved to the world that truth could indeed be stranger than fiction.”
