Written by a former museologist (yep, there's such a thing), this blog is dedicated to the small, random museums (and the occasional large institutions) of the world that are full of funny, ridiculous and sometimes mundane collections. And if you're easily offended, keep in mind most of these posts are indeed informative but also easily offensive.
A VALENTINE HEART (VEINS AND ARTERIES INCLUDED)
*CHOCOLATE HEARTS, RED ROSES AND TEDDY BEAR EXTRA*
At the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago visitors could walk through a giant replica of the human heart to watch its principal parts work as they do in one’s own body and actually hear it throb. The big walk-through heart had been a popular fixture since 1954, but was replaced with a digital projection in 2009.
