$5 admission fee is totally worth it to check out this unique creation. Be sure to get the tour and watch the video to hear how the house came into being. It literally is a house covered in beer cans.

So freaking cool. This museum was built out of of beer cans & bottles. The story is cool both owners have passed. But it's still taking care of by family. The tour was cool. The guy just loved beer .

The Beer Can House began as an unusual hobby for a retired upholsterer John Milkovisch in 1968, and you can now check out the house and grounds on weekends, either on your own or via guided tours .

Beer can house: Exactly what it sounds like. You can't consider yourself a Houstonian unless you have visited this piece of art . Make this a stop on your museum-visiting days.
