There is nothing quite as startling as the Museum of Surgical Science. Located in a beautiful former mansion, the museum contains artifacts from our own human history of practicing medicine - and some of it is quite scary! Medical instruments, tables, even a replica 19th century pharmacy, bring to life the strange and often unhealthy medical practices of a former age. In a city full of museums, this little gem is far too often overlooked! Be sure to give a ring and get the proper hours, as they are a bit odd and you don't want to arrive on a day when it's closed.
Pros : Small, rarely crowded, very interesting material
