Hypochondriacs and WebMD enthusiasts, this one’s for you. For a stunning confrontation with your own mortality, pay a visit to this specialist museum housed within the University of New South Wales. In its possession are more than 1,500 specimens of human disease, obtained from the organs and tissue of autopsied patients who’ve generously given their bodies to science. Exhibits are accompanied by a detailed clinical history of the donor patient, honouring the fascinating sights with humanity. There are sections dedicated to lifestyle diseases, plus a trippy Oculus Rift exhibit where you can ‘walk’ through an artery. If you’re a little squeamish, give this one a miss.
