The Mutter Museum

I have been thinking about the question Jeff posed to all of us on Tuesday: Should everything on display be on display at the museum, or is some of it inappropriate? I think this sort of difficult to answer straightly - I feel that there is both appropriateness and inappropriateness in the displays, it depends on what I am looking at, and I think I would have to actually go to the museum and experience it to gauge how I would really feel about it. In the early days of the museum, its visitors were medical students and physicians. Nowadays, I think it has shifted to primarily the general public who mostly come to look more so than to learn.
