BOCA RATON, Florida (AP) — A one-of-a-kind private museum assembled by two wealthy Florida brothers is going on the auction block. The Milhous Collection is expected to fetch around $40 million next month.

Highlights are collector cars and rare musical instruments, but the museum also features a carousel, a U.S. Army airplane and vintage barbershop equipment.

Bob and Paul Milhous are liquidating their collection after spending decades scouring the world.

The museum has only been open for private gatherings.
