Small but full of interesting information. Well arranged exhibits, some interactive. No entrance fee. Stop here before or after visiting the Ether Dome. Both are must sees, especially if you or a family member or friend is employed in the medical field.

It is a small, educational museum that explains many medical issues and you can join in some games to know more. Also, there is a small botanical garden on the roof.
