The Mütter Museum

"A visit to the Mutter Museum is a privileged view into a world rarely seen by those outside the profession. In the early years of the museum, most of the visitors were medical students, Fellows, and visiting physicians. Today the museum's annual visitors are primarily from the general public, who come to learn about the historical and modern practice of medicine, and about the nature and prevention of disease."
For those living on the East Coast and wishing to see walls of misformed fetuses, a giant colon, and many other human deformities, check out Mutter's main page for more info.

If you think Mutter is fascinating, you may also like Victorian Medical Curiosities. It was written in 1896, but you can still find copies today for about $3.
