Tastelessly Controversial
Skeletons in the Closet Skeletons in the Closet features a complete line of quality souvenir items, such as beach towels, tee-shirts, tote bags, baseball caps, coroner toe tag key chains, boxer shorts called "undertakers," and more. Each item displays a unique Los Angeles County Coroner design such as a skeleton in Sherlock Holmes attire, a chalked-out body outline or the L.A. County Coroner seal.
The Mutter's Museum
" According to a Roadside America article, The Mütter Museum at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia promises — and delivers — an afternoon of esoteric and incredible sights. The sophisticated, high-ceilinged gallery that houses this collection of medical monstrosities helps us rationalize our interest in it. Designed for perusal by present and future members of a dignified overpaid profession, the museum is two floors of dark wood-trimmed display cases and a library-like stateliness. Shouts of "Will ya look at this MONSTER BABY?" are entirely inappropriate." Here are just a few highlights:
- Soap Woman: the body of a woman who died of Yellow Fever sometime in the 19th century and was buried in soil with certain chemical properties that turned her into soap!
- a plaster cast of Chang and Eng AND their actual attached livers
- Chevalier Jackson Collection of objects swallowed and removed
- Brains of murderers and epileptics
- The Secret Tumor of Grover Cleveland
- The Thorax of John Wilkes Booth
- A giant colon
- Large collection of baby deformities.
- Skeletons of a giant and a midget
- "Brain Of A Murderer" - John Wilson hanged in Norristown, PA
- Longitudinal slices of the head, showing brain, etc.
- Skull Collections, including the Muniz collection of trephinated (holes cut in them)"
