Well worth a visit. museum still has authentic feel without update to contemporary tastes. More

The history is quite enlightening about how much we did not know in early medicine, and makes you wonder what people will say about what we do now in another 100 years. More

The museum is tucked away on what was at one time a large hospital campus. My wife and I stopped there on our trip to Indianapolis and found the hour or so tour interesting and informative. It was interesting to see the old medical devices and dicussion about some of the technics used in the early 1900s. If you have... More

No special things, don't waste your time. There are many more interesting museums and sites to see. It was also a bit out of the way and it took 1 hour to get a cab when we were done the tour. More

This is a fun thing to see. Lots of creepy history and the guide we had was very nice and well informed. It is a small building and get cramped at times.

It was $5 for adults, and $1 or $2 dollars for children 18 and under. Our guide was very helpful, and eager to answer any questions. Will... More

While our guide was friendly and knowledgable about the Museum, our group included a physician from Russia, so we got a little... More

From the minute you sit in the turn of the century (that's 19th-20th!) lecture amphitheater, you'll feel transported back in time. The stories you'll hear remind us that at one time all those who were significantly physically or mentally disabled ended up in an institution. Sometimes families dropped off their child with a mental disability or seizure disorder and seldom... More

If you are interested in history, medicine, or just kind of ghoulish, you'll like this place. It's just like the patients walked out the day before you walked in. The garden with medicinal plants was fascinating. It's kind of a pain to find, and it's not open a lot of hours, but it's more than worth the effort. More
