Cool Things in Random Places is another one of my favourite blogs. Today, they’re linking to the Parasite Museum in Tokyo.
Its crowning achievement is an 8.8 metre long tapeworm taken from the body of a human being! Just incredible. Look at this lady’s face, she is just repulsed beyond belief! So crazy.
Would you pay to visit this museum, or would someone have to pay you? I think it would be fascinating, in a strange train wreck kind of way. Discuss it in the TravelPod travel forum.
See you there!

Freaky! I wonder what else they have on display?

It’s just a whole bunch of different parasites in formaldehyde and such. Various types of worms and things.

For an even better “freak-out,” vist the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia. This is collection of “medical oddities,” including a cast of the famous Siamese twins, Chang and Eng.

Now you have visited the Parasite Museum. There is another museum in Tokyo named the Museum of Tobacco and Salt. Its located in Shibuya.
Cheers
