International Museum Of Surgical Science


Granddads would have you believe things were better in the good ol’ days, but a short stroll through the International Museum of Surgical Science in Chicago makes liars of them all. From graphic paintings of childbirth to a vast collection of often-ghastly tools of the trade, the Surgical Museum is a morbidly fascinating journey into the blood-spattered beginnings of modern medicine.

Here's a photo tour of the International Museum of Surgical Science that will make you grateful you weren't sick back when surgeons wielded tools that would make Sweeney Todd blush.
