If art and architecture isn't really your thing; if you look for a more shivering, bizarre and creepy experience, you might be better off by visiting the Siriraj Medical Museum in Bangkok. It will be definitely an experience that you won't forget easily. Besides learning a lot about human anatomy, diseases, forensics and medical history in Thailand, you will have the chance to see lots of embalmed and dissected dead human bodies and organs.

What is the Siriraj Medical Museum?

The Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hostpital, the oldest medical institute of Thailand, has established the Siriraj
Medical Museum and has brought together equipment, documents and specimens from other departments to study, preserve, use as teaching material and exhibits as well as propagating medical knowledge by various means. Students as well as interested public will gain knowledge and apply what they have learned in their daily living. The medical Museums are particularly interesting from different perspectives to enable you to get new learning experiences.

What is special about the Siriraj Medical Museum?

The Siriraj Medical Museum, which is located at the east bank of Chao Praya River, just across the Grand Palace, is a place of education about human anatomy and medical history of Thailand. Not only do visitors learn about fatal wounds, common diseases like cancer, birth and congenital defects but also each case is displayed with a real example of human tissue or even a whole body. There are several fetuses with various horrifying defects, bodies with different types of gunshot wounds, organs with cancer, human hearts, extracted nervous systems or blood vessels and even a giant scrotum (due to an untreated parasitic infection).

 

Sections of Siriaj Medical Museum

The museum is composed of 5 sections that are at three different building of the Siriraj Medical Research & Hospital complex.

Various types of parasites have long been the cause of diseases. The Parasitology Museum Section exhibits samples of parasites including round worms, flat worms, liver flukes and disease-transmitting insects. Moreover, visitors get to see parasite infected organs along with information on prevalence, symptoms, harmful effects and treatment.
