The Mutter
The film on the Mutter Museum was interesting to say the least. It came around at a time when medicine was starting to get off the ground and they needed a school to teach weird diseases. But is the school ethical for today's world? Many believe it is a staple of the past that has a weird collection of human body parts such as Chang and Ang Bunkers liver. Also to answer this question is that it is marketed as a museum for medical students. Whatever the argument I found it very interesting. There are very few places were you can see diseases on display or a plaster cast of conjoined twins.
