5 Morbid Museums Around The World

Established by Russian Tsar Peter the Great in 1727, the Kunstkamera was the first museum in Russia, and currently houses the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography -- which may be more horrifying to look at than any tapeworm! Tsar Peter had a morbid fascination with human anatomy, and secured a famous collection of bodily preparations from the well-known anatomist Fredrick Ruysch in the 18th Century. It's at this very museum where you can view the collection, featuring cringe-worthy anatomic specimens including deformed fetuses, legs and arms, preserved organs and many other gruesome displays.
