mutter museum purpose

The video that we watched on the mutter museum was very interesting. At the end we were discussing the purpose behind the museum if it was for medical students, like they claimed, or for entertainment. The fact that there is a gift shop in the museum makes me think that its for fun. Many of their visitors are not medical students and are there just out of curiosity, making it a social attraction. The objects that they display could be helpful for students but if they cannot touch them how helpful is it really. I would love to go there and see some of the objects that were not shown in the video. Overall, I think the museum wants to be known for its medical background but is being taken over by tourists and becoming more of an attraction.
