Morbid Road Trip: Medical Oddities Around the World. In our last two macabre getaways, we planned an almost- cross- country trip to see various items tied to Abraham Lincoln’s assassination and took in the best of America’s medical oddities.

Cesare Lobrosos's Museum of Criminal Anthropology - Turin, Italy. Criminologist Cesare Lombroso believed that he had discovered the true “scientific” nature of crime. Criminality, he thought, was biology as destiny, and certain biological features like cranial anomalies, large jaws, low sloping foreheads, high cheekbones, patchy facial hair and long arms all contributed to deviant behavior. As part of his work on his theories, Lombroso amassed a huge collection of anatomical specimens, crime scene evidence and criminological artifacts.

Salerno was able to preserve them so well.

The Machines have fueled centuries of legend surrounding an old Prince of Sansevero.

Out of 7. 00 bodies that he flayed, only 2.

Russia’s oldest museum, founded in St. Petersburg in 1. 72.

Peter the Great’s private collection. His diverse “cabinet of curiosities” featured a range of items from deformed fetuses and skulls to old, bizarre medical instruments. In his effort to modernize Russia, Peter gave his collection of diseased and abnormal anatomy a public home so that people could confront these “monsters” in a scientific way instead of falling back on superstition.

The museum’s second floor contains the collection of preparations Peter bought from the Dutch anatomist Fredrick Ruysch, which is cataloged online.

The museum’s do- not- miss item is probably the head of one Willem Mons. Mons was the brother of Peter’s mistress, and was hired to be the private secretary to his wife Catherine. He was eventually arrested and charged with embezzling money from the government, but the real reason for his punishment has long been rumored to be his affair with the empress.
