Plano, Texas, used to be home to the Cockroach Hall of Fame Museum. It's closed down now, but it's still worth a thought.
It isn't a museum about the variety of cockroaches or anything like that though, it's actually a bunch of little dioramas with the dead cockroaches dressed up like famous people, such as Liberoache. Micheal Bohdan put the museum together and had it as a side business of sorts, but it closed in 2012 when he retired and moved to Phoenix. He has hopes to be able to put it back together, but he hasn't found anywhere to do it yet, and since it's been so long, he might not at all.
I couldn't find nearly as many sources about this as I'd hoped, so I apologize. I'd been hoping to find more about the different exhibits he had, but the only ones I could really find were Liberoache and the Statue of Liberty, roach version. Those are in the sources below. I considered copying a picture over, but some people really hate the sight of a cockroach, so I'll let you find those pictures on your own.
If you're curious and want to know more, google and the sources below can help.
