Someone thought it a good idea to preserve 19th and 20th century medical equipment and anatomical specimens for forensic research, not realizing that having 20,000 of these specimens in one place spells fun for the not-faint of heart. If you've ever wondered what happened to Florence Nightengale's sewing kit or President Grover Cleveland's jaw tumor, look no further. Possibly the most requested museum among young tourists out to test their date's capacity for the unusual. The collection is in fact a useful archive of medical information, despite the popular conception.
