National Museum of Health and Medicine view detail comment email this

"Established during the Civil War as the Army Medical Museum, this museum served as a center for the collection of specimens for research in military medicine and surgery." Today it houses such "anatifacts" as President Garfield's vertebrae (complete with his assassin's bullet), the evolution of the microscope, and early medical instruments. Features ongoing and past online exhibits as well as a browsable guide to the museum's historical, anatomical, and neuroanatomical collections. Searchable. Includes general information about the museum.
