disturbingly informative..



For those who enjoy the gross, I've got just the place for you... it's the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, Pa.

Just one visit to museum's site and you'll see that it's not your average medical museum, the site refers to ones of the museum exhibits as 'Disturbingly Informative'... hehe and it is soooo true.

The museum was founded to educate future doctors but the museum houses exhibits which seems to draw one and all...

If the collection of skulls don't creep you out and if you're not bothered by the Siamese twins and their conjoined livers, then maybe you wouldn't mind delving a little deeper and checking out...
... the 2,000 objects removed from people's throats... (uhmm yuck)
or... the cancerous growth removed from Grover Cleveland (ewwh!)
or... the world's largest colon... removed from a guy who died of constipation! ... (Awwhhh... ewwhhh... teehee)

Yep this museum is quite unique and I guess informative if that's where your interests lie...

although it was an odd find....
What about you? Know of any odd museums? Have any odd finds?
Tell me... whats yourz?
