Maude Abbott Medical Museum — Attraction in Montreal

It's a great less known ( even for McGill' students) museum. It's not clearly marked outside, so just find the address, go inside, take an elevator to the second floor, turn right and there it would be. I would definitely recommend to visit if you're into medical history and medicine in general. It's also would be perfect for older teenagers, who can stomach the view. Keep in mind, that most specimens are grayish mass in the glass containers, and it's not easy to say what is what, unless you read the labels. It's small, so your visit can be under 1 hour. However if you start scanning the barcodes and paying attention to interactive displays, you can easily spend good couple of hours here. It was interesting to see in person ( if one can say this) many anatomical abnormalities I only read...

Honestly, even don't know how to describe this experience: frightening but still captivating! Most probably, not kids friendly, unless they are interested in exploring anatomical displays. The museum is free. The visiting hours on their website are accurate. Street parking is available near the premises. However, from the side we parked it was a bit confusing to find our way to the museum itself, which will be on the 2nd floor, when you take an elevator. Great place for those thinking about pursuing medicine, and also for those curious about exploring the body...

Tried to visit during opening hours, but the building was closed even though I saw people enter moments before. I called multiple times at the number posted and email and got no response concerning how to enter the building. It seems like a very interesting museum to visit. I will try to visit again, hopefully this was a one...
