We started off in pathology where there are many still born and varying stages of pregnancy babies all preserved in liquid, I guess formaldahyde. There are several showing birth defects like spina difida and cojoined twins.
Next was the forensic section. Once again it had many preserved body parts as well as bones and a few mummified bodies. Many of the parts showing trauma that resulted in the death of the person, for example punctured lungs from stab wound, ruptured liver from car accident. There were many bullet wounds and skulls with bullet holes and cuts from knife or axe.
Next was the parasites. They had many worms on display in jars as well as life cycles of common human infecting parasites like malaria.
Next prehistoric museum. This was quite interesting and had many stone tools as well as bones and even a skull 4000 years old. There was also a display of the evolution of man from a common ancestor of chimps with casts of skulls including australapithicus.
Finally the anatomy museum. This was full of bits. Some of the most fascinating are the full body of arteries and nerves. It is amazing to look at just one part of the body suspended all by itself kind of like an outline. Once again there were many babies, one had one eye and an extended nose, kind of like cyclops meets the elephant.
Between museums we noticed some excitement outside so we went to look. There was a F1 car, probably on promotional tour, I did het a photo of that.
