The all-time best and grossest museum is the National Museum of Health and Medicine at the Walter Reed complex in the D.C. area. Bottled malformed dwarves, elephantitis-ridden scrotums, arthritic skeletons in glass cases... this place has it all, and then some. If you only visit one museum this summer, make it the National Museum of Health and Medicine.

The Museum of Questionable Medical Devices closed at least four years ago. Its collections were absorbed into the Science Museum of Minnesota and the Bakken Museum (Minneapolis). Those wishing to explore phrenology (the "science of measuring the skull) or electronic auto-erotic devices should visit these two fantastic museums.

Tupperware used to have a 'museum' of food storage methods at their offices in Orlando, FL.

It was fun to tell people that we went to Orlando but only visited the Tupperware Museum.
