Yes, this museum is not for the squeamish. I must admit, I felt a bit queasy at the embryos suspended in solution display, and I had to look away from the cancer-laden neck. But I was mesmerized by the radiology exhibit. In addition to the artifacts, the Museum hosts events, such as films and lectures, which take place inside the on-site auditorium. The National Museum of Medicine and Health is located at 6900 Georgia Avenue and Elder Street, Building 54, Washington, D.C., 2030.
Admission is free and tours are available.
