The Museum Of Medical Oddities In Massachusetts Is Not For The Faint Of Heart
Inside a nondescript building in Boston lies one of the strangest museums in the country. It’s filled with fascinating and bizarre objects from medical history that are both eye-catching and a little disturbing. This spot is the perfect destination for lovers of all things weird, creepy and awe-inspiring.
Finding this place is part of the fun. You’ll need to walk around from behind the Harvard Library of Medicine, check in with the guard, and then take the elevator on up to the fifth floor.
There’s an "exploded" skull, a pair of conjoined twins, a collection of fetal skeletons, artfully crafted eye models, and other fascinating medical finds.
His collection includes over 15,000 items, including warped skeletons, unusual, pickled organs, strange medical curiosities and other creepy odds and ends.
The museum’s most well-known artifact is the skull of Phineas Gage, a railroad worker who had a 13-pound iron rod shoved through his skull and lived to tell the tale.
