Ripley’s Legendary Fertility Statues will be on display at Ripley’s Baltimore Odditorium starting Friday, June 19 and can be seen – and touched – for several months, free of charge. Baltimore is the first stop on the fourth world tour of Ripley’s Legendary Fertility Statues.

Ripley’s acquired the hand-carved statues from Africa and put them in the lobby of their corporate headquarters. Within months, 13 staffers and visitors became pregnant. Since then, the statues made three trips around the world. Hundreds of women reported that they became pregnant shortly after touching the statues, even those who had been told by doctors they would never be able to conceive.

Some are very serious about touching the statues, believing in their powers to help them conceive. Others want to avoid touching the statues – for the very same reason!

The statues will be on display in the lobby of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Baltimore Odditorium during regular business hours, Monday-Thursday from 10 am – 9 pm; Friday-Saturday from 10 am – 10 pm; and Sunday from 10 am – 8 pm. There is no charge to see the statues, but tickets will be required for visitors who wish to tour the Odditorium.
