Attention all CSI fanatics! Browse four floors packed with info about the history of the medical field , and exhibits that delve into everything from DNA to antiquated equipment. It’s free on Tuesday.

It is very much as described with a reciprocal membership it is great to stop at for 30 minutes. (It is also air conditioned )

Check out Curie. She is amazing and her flask could be barium or whiskey .

Not much to see. Lots of imagines with stories and not a lot of old actual equipment. Wasn’t worth the cost

Very informative museum . Should take a look it is out of no where in location but short and worth a look.
