What travelers say:
An anatomy museum has an odd rule that an anatomy professor must be present when visiting, because human remains exist, will understand the insights gained from 19th and 20th centuries views on human anatomy. The craniophagus series (including the Jonathan Swift skull model) has some fascinating plaster heads, and the breeding exhibition is interesting and historic.
