Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Not that I've ever used one

The NIH has a museum of medical research (specifically the DeWitt Stetten, Jr., Museum of Medical Research). I've seen bits of the collection when I've gone to the NIH campus for work, something I don't do too much anymore. And while theoretically anyone can go to NIH, it is a royal pain to get into a federal facility.

The web exhibits the museum puts up on the web are pretty cool, too, though, and there's no need to go through security. The latest, a thin blue line, covers the history (scientific and cultural) of the at-home pregnancy test kit.

(There's more, if pregnancy test kits don't interest you...the genome and anatomical art, pain and poppies.)
