Very interesting museum. I wish you could take pictures but I understand and respect why you can't. It was fascinating to see what a corset does to a rib cage. There's also a nice medicinal garden on… Full review by solocationer

We went on a weekday and it was full to the gills with day camp children. I would suspect that later on Saturday might be a little quieter. Enjoy though, and don't miss the amazing Lisa Nillson art exhibit and the small, pretty garden.
